Looking for a starter for port 454 engine. Boat is 1973 36’ tournament fish, I don’t think these are the original engines. (correction, these are the original marine power engines)
I will take the old starter and have it rebuilt but also wanted to order one delivered and quickly get back up and running.
NOBODY seems to have this starter, it’s discontinued by Arco. Did they replace this model with another one? It can’t be this hard to find a starter for a 454? Right?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank u, Whitney
454 chebys (I know I spelled it wrong). Have a low mount starter by design. You can not see them in a marine installation because of all the add on stuff. To simplify service, Mercury and Crusader had bell housings cast to mount starters up top on the bell housings. This got the starters out of the dark wet bowels of the bilge and made them accessible.
