ARCO Johnson Evinrude 10-Tooth Outboard Starter

The ARCO 5387 is a 10-tooth replacement starter for Johnson and Evinrude engines from BRP-OMC. It fits the V6 and V8 loop-charged outboards and the 115 to 300 HP E-TEC models. The 10-tooth gear matches the flywheel on these larger engines. These engines turn over a lot of displacement, so a starter in good condition makes a big difference on a cold morning or with a heavily loaded battery bank.

It covers a long list of BRP-OMC part numbers: 391511, 396235, 397023, 584799, 586289, 586411, 586731, 586890, 586897, and 586957. That list spans older loop-charged V engines and the later E-TEC line, which shows how long this starter design stayed in use. Matching the number on your old starter is the surest way to confirm the fit. Keep your old starter until the new one is installed and tested, so you can compare mounting points side by side.

Johnson and Evinrude outboards are no longer built, so quality aftermarket starters are now the main way to keep them running. ARCO seals its starters against water and finishes them with nickel or epoxy coatings to resist corrosion. While the old starter is off, inspect the flywheel teeth and the starter bracket for wear or cracks. Charge the battery and clean all connections before installing, and see more options in our marine starters.
