Ha Ha, i see, The small wire you remove is just the engergizer (how do you spell that!!) taking it off and putting straight onto the post bypasses the solenoid as its just a big magnetic switch.

Anyway im pretty sure its the starter thats had it by the sounds of it, particularly if its getting so hot.

OK so it looks like I need another starter going to get the old one off today if it stops raining, only after new if its the only way. I remember from my youth and old cars I had you could get them repaired is this the case still or does any one know of a boat engine breakers that may have one? Thanks

You could always take it to somewhere to get it rewound/reconditioned.It'll be cheaper than a new one.

Here's a few to start you off.:-
