I have a 2000 Tiara 41 with 3208 Cats. My port engine will require using the parallel once in awhile when I haven't started it for a couple of weeks. Once I start it, it will work again without the parallel switch.
I looked into getting another starter and just keeping it on the boat in case it crapped out on me but Cat wants $1,000 after you pay the core charge. Kind of expensive for a may never need part.
If it always does it you may be able to pull it off and get a starter shop to rebuild it fairly inexpensively. Stone the commutator, new brushes and springs and a bendix and you should be good to go.
