There's an ARCO part # at the link, which can be crossed with other suppliers.

I wouldn't buy one from an aftermarket parts house like AUTOZONE, ADVANCE, NAPA or the likes if it was my boat. They are turning out crap for a premium price now since they all come with lifetime warranty's. Your paying for the warranty, not the quality of work. Buy the ARCO unit though and don't look back. They make top shelf parts from all of there stuff I have used.

I wouldn't get anything from Autozone or Advance for your boat, but NAPA has some kind of deal with Sierra Parts(marine parts supplier), they distribute them thru NAPA, you pay thru the nose for them, but on a Saturday afternoon, they can be a life saver

I agree the ARCO is the best way to go. AutoZone and Advance sell low end stuff, but around here NAPA still carries high quality parts.

As far as it goes in the automotive end, I don't care if you buy AUTOZONE, ADVANCE, NAPA, CARQUEST, and most any other big name chain they will all be built by the same company out of Mexico if it is a reman unit. I've bought from all of em, and they are all the same crappy builds internally. ADVANCE does carry REMY brand which is a 100% new unit for starters and alternators, but I still wouldn't be willing to take a chance on one in a boat when you can buy an ARCO that you know will work for many years.

Thanks guys for all the replies. I will look into those Arco starters. Sounds like everyone on here swears by them. Does anyone know who has them for the cheapest?
