Is it a marine rated starter?

It is compatable and marine rated. Smaller but greater hp than the stock unit. My concern was a greater number of teeth on its drive gear. I contacted Caltric through the Ebay store they have. They got back to me with in an hour and said I would not have a problem to go ahead with the install. It all worked out I restarted a number of times all good. $78 bucks and free shipping. Two days in a box on my steps. All good so far !
