    Years ago you could buy a G M Marine Crate engine with a warranty. Not sure if it is still available that way. Would need to bolt to your drive. Worst case should be buying a marine rated starter ?? Good luck.

    True BUUUTT It is not correct. Aluminum and S S when whetted by salt water becomes a case of Galvanic Corrosion. The Aluminum surface is attacked by saltwater chemical action and transfers to the S S metal surface. Why almost every good Aluminum boat uses Aluminum carrying handles at the...

    Pricing restored boats

    S S parts should not contact Aluminum. Aluminum parts on a Aluminum boat. I would remove the S S statement.
