I bought a 1989 Bayliner with a 305 that needs a starter. Is there an automotive starter that can be used for this application?

DO NOT use automotive starters, alternators, distributors, carbs, fuel pumps, etc. to replace the marine units. They are designed to prevent sparks and/or gas leaks that could cause an explosion in the enclosed areas of a bilge.
