1998 Mercruiser 3.0 starter

[Cburlette]

I’m replacing the starter on a 1998 Mercruiser 3.0 IO and I need a little help identifying this part that sits on the starter solenoid. Is it a diode or a fuse? Any input on a part number or source to purchase it?

Ayuh,...... It's a Fuse,...... not sure of it's amperage,.....

90A I think.

Yep 90 amp, the fuse part is inside the block. Remove the nut and pull it apart, or just get a whole new one
