My starter was really dragging, so ordered an aftermarket starter. Put it on,but when I hit the switch the starter motor ran backwards. Sent it back, got a rebuilt starter on ebay, put it on , same thing, it ran backwards. Am I doing something wrong or are there different starters for 1969 models?

My first access to this forum.

I have a 1969 350 35hp Mercury outboard as well.

Having trouble determining the best/easiest way to install a new starter. Need help please.
