OMC vs MerCruiser Starter Solenoid

[fimbulvetr]

I ordered a 12V OMC grounded base 4 terminal starter solenoid (3368M) off of "Marine Salvage USA" on EBay. The part they sent was a MerCruiser isolated base 12V 4 terminal starter solenoid (which, incidently, was postmarked as being shipped over a month after I won the auction). My question is: despite my annoyance at being sent the wrong part and it taking so bloody long, I'm assuming that any old 4-terminal marine starter solenoid will work. Am I right, or should I hold out for the right part?

Sure sounds like you are dealing with a I/O engine here, not an outboard. I'm gonna move you to the I/O Forum.
