Can someone point me to a site or a part number for a marine starter for a 1985 GM small block 350 in a Sea Ray 210 with an Alpha One? It seems that at some point the starter design changed, but the various vendors are all over the board as to when that was.

Thanks guys

Ayuh,... Is your's a straight across bolt pattern, or staggered bolt pattern,..??

It is the staggered bolt pattern. I found a mini marine starter on Amazon for a good price and it bolted right up. A shot of starting fluid and she started right up on last year's gas.

I guess the answer is any 10MT replacement should work.
