I have a new starter to put into my boat.

My sockets do not fit completely on the two bolts that go into the
engine block.

What tool is used to remove these two bolts ?

I need to start the boat to get it out of the water for the season.

I read on ebay constantly mercruisers for sale because the starter
bolts broke off...

If anyone local in Ocean County New Jersey wants some pocket money to
do the work let me know. I currently am recovering from stomach surgery
and find it difficult to do the work. You don't realize how much work
your stomach muscles do.

1975 Formula Thunderbird 19' closed bow.

Thanks
