Ayuh,... That question is sorta another Oil question,... Lotsa Opinions...

Chevy starters come in, generally speakin', 2 patterns,...
The staggered bolt pattern, 'n the straight across pattern, for the 14", 'n 12" flywheels, respectably...

There are 3 flavors of starters, generally available...
The traditional large bodied brush motor style, which must be Marine rated for a boat...
The newer permanent magnet motor starters, which need Marine ratin's,...
'n the gear reduction style of starters, which are spark protected, by design...

Then of course, there's copies of all those different starters built by many reputable manufacturers, 'n junk from off-shore sources...

But nothin' really known has "Heavy Duty"....;)
