## Discrepancy

STARTER GENERATOR WOULD NOT ENGAGE.  WENT OFFSHORE TO REPLACE STARTER. ONCE OFFSHORE, ENGAGED STARTER SWITCH 3 TIMES AND THE STARTER WORKED AS ADVERTISED.  ELECTED TO REPLACE THE STARTER TO PREVENT ANY FURTHER DELAYS AND THE STARTER RAN ONLY 62.5 HOURS,  REMAINING UNTIL TIME CHANGE.
