Keep in mind they are not marine starters with spark protection from gas fumes. Cars do not have expoding bilge problems.

Try powermaster out of west chicago il,,ive had their starter in my donzi for over 10 years now and not a lick of trouble..we use to use tilton's and had nothing but problems..

the nice part if they are out of warrenty you send them back and for 125.00 they make them new again..(salesman told me )

I bought a Mallory marine starter from Summit. Has been working great on a 700HP BBC. Jeff Wurl

Are you looking for a bravo or speedmaster set up? For Bravo set ups, Eddie Young turned me on to these. I have NEVER had an issue with these on my 598 whipple motors. Another buddy has 300 hours on his and no issue either. We are constantly turning the boats on and off to talk. He painted mine with Bedliner for the boat and not one issue or rusting. I just built a 572 for my suburban and painted it with black Epoxy fusion rattle can paint and it is working great so far on it as well.

This particular starter will NOT work on a Speedmaster set up.

I just installed 2 of these.... bang for buck!
And 2 of these... both marine:)

Summit and Jegs are each only an hour away/one day shipping and I buy a lot from them. Mostly Summit.

They can't touch these prices though. All 4 for about 300 bucks to my door.

nice find. Looks like they just rebuilt a buch of merc cores, or they reverse engineered them in China??

I think I will order some and try them out.

GPM 10-12-2010 01:01 PM

Nice find but will they eat the teeth off the flywheel. Tried a couple of other brands that shimming just wouldn't cure.

Airpacker 10-12-2010 02:08 PM

Proper marine starters are not rust proof, they are source of ignition proof. Sealed solenoids and brush housings. Be very careful using a car starter in your boat.

jeffswav 10-12-2010 03:01 PM

I have had better luck with getting mine rebuilt. Find a good auto electic shop, they can rebuild the stock unit better than new. Then you do not have to worry about shimming issues and broken flywheel teeth.
