Trying to find a starter for a 1982 350 chevy mercuries. DONT care if it from Autozone. A car one will get it to where it needs to be. Part number will help.
Thanks

I doubt anyone on this forum will help you put an automotive starter on a boat.

why not look it up on auto zone yourself.

see if you can find what you are asking for

Chevy Mercuries — Clarifying the Confusion​

There were never any “Chevrolet Mercuries” — Mercury was a separate brand owned by Ford Motor Company, not Chevrolet.

There are only 8 marine starters for GM bases motors

153 tooth flywheel (inline bolt pattern) or 168 tooth flywheel (straight across pattern) a direct drive or a PMGR. Then you have I/O vs Inboard (starter rotation)

Head to NAPA , bring your old starter and buy a marine replacement.

Most likely you have a direct drive, get a PMGR replacement

Do NOT use an automotive starter in a boat unless you want to meet Jesus

Get the starter rebuilt for a fraction of new. I replaced the starter on my boat. I had the starter rebuilt done by 9 am the next morning $138
