Default 500 EFI Starter

Can someone give me a link or direction on getting a starter for a 500 efi. Some are outrageously priced. I just want one that works well, and that people have been happy with. Not looking for overkill, EFI's tend to start with turn of the key. Just want a decently priced one. Please give a link to the one I need, It would help me out. Stock 500efi location, Bravo

I USED to use DB electric starters..

just had two in a row fail on me.. they covered them under warranty but doesn't do much good when you're stranded on the water.. They finally just sent me my $$ back.

I then ordered a Sierra Marine starter.. was $100 more than the DB electric starter ..... showed up and I found it's IDENTICAL to the DB unit... even packaging was the same just with a Sierra sticker on the box..
I sent THAT one back


FINALLY ordered an OEM starter.. Starter issues are over...

DB is also Arrowhead company. Marine dealers quit buying Arrowhead starters years ago because of the problems they were having. FWIW
