+1 great site with parts diagrams!

Use the site Scott listed, find the part number then google the part. I do like Mercruiserparts but they are rarely the best price/shipping. I wish iboats would carry OEM parts

Thanks for the replies guys. That is what I was doing and with a Google search 99 percent of the results are aftermarket with the mercruiser number in the heading. I don't want ebay bellows and bearings due to all the labor involved. Flashlight batteries? Sure. That's why I posted the question. The starter on a 4.3 L is difficult to install. Ebay 59.00. Quicksilver 219.00. What's a man to do. Lol

Nothing is made in this country anymore ,not even original parts.Even your so called mercruiser parts arrive from out of country

18-2601 or 18-8205 work well.

A good alternator / starter shop can rehab your current starter for about $50

I looked into that for my 2000 3.0 mercruiser w high torque starter and could not find any shop to do it. When I was a young man u either rebuilt your own or walked. Now I couldn't find brushes. Called Brunswick marine and they stated they are non seviceable. So I paid 289 plus tax for a new one since I couldn't find a quad brush ring assembly. I wish I knew a place I would do just that. Thanks

$61.00 when I looked

Guys I did find a rebuild shop thru a mechanic shop They had it done in two hours and cost 119.00. Seems pricy to me. Clean, lube, paint, new solenoid. Thanks

so I went to the above parts site and searched the drive serial number # 0C735235 and found nothing. What am I doing wrong.
1989 4.3 LV6 Alpha One Thunderbot Ignition. Engine serial 0C616538

My rebuild shop was about the same.... what are you gonna do, I'd rather see a small business get it... everything either gets more expensive these days or it gets made cheaper so it costs less.

I struggled. I could only get a trim assembly to show up it was weired. This is great. Exactly what I need. I appreciate the time you spent to help me with this.
I am trying to bring this boat back to a dependable trouble free craft. I have always used OEM except one time I used Sierra and the part failed. It's the only time I got stranded in 40 years of boating. That's not because I use OEM it's because of continuous high level of maintenance.
