I think unfortunatedly I know the answer but do the starter and alternator look marine?

I'd need a side and rear picture of the alternator to tell if it is or not, but that starter looks like a regular auto one. Marine starters normally have a heavy paint coating on them, or a cad plating to prevent them from rotting out so quickly. That one appears to be just regular steel.

Thats the other thing I hated about my I/O, Not a self bailing deck, all water went to the bilge and had to get pumped out!!

All the water goes down there and splashes all over the motor, starter, alt, oil pan, ect...ect... causing everything to die much sooner then they really had to!

A good squirt of WD40 every couple of weeks will do wonders with the rust.
