Thanks guys

Re: Compatible starters

thank you, but i have heard these ebay starters are crap? also, must ship to canada.
Has anyone had experience with non oem starters?

For $67.00 and a 1 year warranty, I'd give it a shot. I bought a non-OEM (ARCO) for an Evinrude some years back and it worked out well. But they are more money..

You might want to check with a local starter rebuild shop to see what they will charge to rebuid the one you have. It might only need new brushes and the armiture cleaned up. Otherwise there are several aftermarket starters that should work and will have a warrenty that is good insurance. You might try one of the salvage yards in the Sticky on here to see if they have a good used one alittle cheaper. New or rebuilt would be much better in the long run. JMO

I would also start with local rebuild shop, unless you don,t have a starter.
