I tried adding "#nostart 51", but the game bails with a "no valid starting location" message if you try to start a water nation.
It looks like 66, 46, 58, 70, 78 are all nicer than 51, because they have 3 water neighbors. Is there something in the .map that I'm not seeing, that restricts the water starting location to 51?

Have you checked the map in the map editor? Nostart can be set with the command #nostart, but it can also be set in the terrain mask, 512 is nostart, so a province with a terrain mask of 512 is nostart plains while 1536 is nostart manysites etc. In the map editor you can see if the seas have nostarts checked, which would add the 512 mask to the terrain.
