Starter went out on my 4.3 Mercruiser (yes...I did the volt and amp test to confirm it was the starter and not a problem int he circuit). I've taken the old one out and I need to order a new one. I am on a budget for now and do not want to pay the premium for OEM. So i'm looking at sierra alternatives as well as some of the ebay alternatives.

My motor is a carb'd 4.3 ltr which I believe to be a 2001 (same as hull). The engine serial number is OMO33276. Model listed on the motor says "MCM 4.3 LITRE" 262 CID.

For like $80, I could get something like this...I assume it fits because it lists among other applications "Mercruiser STERN DRIVE Model 4.3L (Carb.) Alpha & Bravo GM 4.3L - 262ci - 6cyl" as an application....

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/MERC...-3L-4-3-262-/330599803628?hash=item4cf948aaec


So would this fit?

Am I just looking for anything that says it fits the 4.3ltr mercruiser stern drive and has 11 splines? What else should I be looking for.

Thanks in advance!
