After market or not !!!
 

Hey all, I am looking to pick up a starter for my late 80's 175 evinrude. Does anyone have any opinion / experience on the DB Electric products on eBay ? Or should I go go with the Arco starter for almost double the price

I Dont know about DB but I sell ARCO stuff on a regular basis without any issues. I've started using on of my suppliers house brand and I've had good luck so far

I've had db alternators on both engines in my Monte Carlo for 3 years with no problems and we put a db starter on my friend's merc 3.0 again with no problems.

DB is china import stuff. For the most part they are pretty good, but you do get a few junk ones. I will say I have dealt with DB in the past, and will buy from them again in the future. They have gone above and beyond a few times now for me when a problem arose, and that is all you can ask of a company. ARCO does make the GOOD stuff though, and there is a reason it costs more, because it is worth it. ARCO is going to be on par with a mexico reman part or the like whereas ARCO will be as good or better than the OEM parts were.

Awesome , thanks guys !!!!

ARCO products all day long. As stated above, there is a reason their parts are more money, because they are worth it.

i ran a DB on an 88 johnson for 2 years, it ran great until the powerhead blew it always worked great and never let me down one time
