What starter are you guys running?

Ajl ?

BCK?

Bruce?

If your looking for a replacement try the delco 2 bolt top mount from Eddie marine..205-10.
Half the size of the original and high torq.
Put one in my 302/kaama.

Great price.

Hey car biz,
I'm just running the original delcos. Do you have a local rebuilder? I had a starter go out last year on my 311 and one the year before on my 206. Kamma motors have a top mount bellhousing. Mercruiser is a PITA bottom mount like a car, except you can't jack the stupid boat up to remove the starter from underneath. F311 starter R&R = about 10 minutes total. F206 starter R&R = about 4 hours upside down in the boat and about a QT. of blood lost. Local guy rebuilds marine starters for about $80 I think. If you buy new make sure you get a top mount starter. I spins reverse direction. Different mounting pattern too. ALJ

Thats what i thougt too!!

Yup i know about the Top mount. I had them rebuilt in 08 BUT they are VERY noisy and when the motors are hot it seems they don't have enough ummmph to spin the motors over like i want them too.

Had mine done a couple of times by one guy, third time took them to someone different and was standing there when they took them apart and found lots of loose stuff inside. Thightened everything up and put locktight on the bolts and had no problems since.
