The ARCO High-Performance Inboard Starter with Gear Reduction & Permanent Magnet fits 2.3L Ford marine engines, built with clockwise rotation and including a wiring harness to replace the conventional starter.
ARCO advises using a fully charged battery during install, since a weak battery can damage the starter and its solenoid, and cleaning all connections beforehand, since a corroded connection adds resistance that raises the amperage the starting circuit needs to work efficiently.
Every starter is dynamically tested and packaged for out-of-the-box performance, nickel-coated and/or epoxy-painted to resist corrosion, and sealed to minimize water intrusion. The armature is tested to withstand 50 times the operating voltage on a 12-volt system, built for long life under repeated starts. It cross-references directly to BRP/OMC 984628 and Sierra 18-5916, 18-5917, and 18-5927, and also replaces ARCO’s own 70116. See what else we carry in marine starters.
