Starter

[gop711]

I have to replace my starter on my 5.0 ford engine on my boat. I have found a starter but it is not a marine starter. Will this be ok to use? Someone said it does not have a spark arrestor on a non marine starter.

Thanks in advance for your help

Re: Starter

Get your old one rebuilt.The marine starter has a plate that is supposed to stop sparks. If your bildge fills with gas fumes you can blow.
The car starter will fit but do you take your family with you???? Jerry

Re: Starter

Bring it to a mechanic who specializes in starters & alternators and get it rebuilt, just make sure he knows it is a marine application and you will be good to go and for less $$ than a new one!
