Hello fellow boaters! I have a spare starter for my Merc 470 and I was wondering what other engines can this be used for? Thanks!

Only the 470

Wow really? I would've thought it also fit the 485 since it's the same block with a different head and bigger valves. Thanks.

I found several different sources.
Mercruiser 165 170 180 190 470 224 3.7L 1983-96... not sure where the 96 comes from.
Mercruiser-built 4-cylinder 165/170/180/190/485/488.
oem mercruiser alpha one 165 170 180 190 195 470 485 488 3.7 liter 4 cylinder 224 cid sterndrive marine engine 12 v delco remy starter motor ...

Not the old GM 165, this would be the Mercruiser-built 4 cylinder.
