Mercrusier 470 starter compatability???

[charityo]

i need to replace the starter on a 1978 mercruiser 470. the original starter does not have the solenoid attached to the starter. is there a starter with the solenoid attached that would be compatable?

why the need to eliminate the remote solenoid?

There is, but your slave is different from the newer models with an add'l starter mounted solenoid. I believe you'd have to replace the slave as well--not sure what other wiring would be involved.

More options.

Keep the current slave solenoid and just put a new starter with a solenoid on... The original start number is 50-72550, and a good replacement should be this one -> http://www.dbelectrical.com/p-7170-new-marine-starter-inboard-mercruiser-crusader-omc-ccw-61-08.aspx

Unfortunatley this is a counter clockwise rotation. Mine is clockwise rotation.

Are you thinking engine or starter motor direction of rotation? The engine is CW, but the starter should be CCW.... (it spins CCW to run the engine CW)...

The 470 is CCW engine (looking at the back of the flywheel forward) and CW starter.
