72 chrysler starter sylenoid part ##??

[Trailorboat]

I have a chrysler 55 hp outboard model # 554HF 1972.
I ordered a used starter motor on ebay from a 73
part # MGD4002B -12 volt. Will this motor work. I looked at the mounts and they look the same. any help would be appreciated. This site has been sooo helpful.

Original chrysler part number for that starter was A201955. According to this spec sheet that motor is a good match

Be sure to replace the lower mount that connects from the bottom of the motor to the intake manifold. It doesn't look like it does anything, but if you leave it off, you will eventually break the top boss on the crankcase.
