ARCO Mercury Mariner 8-Tooth Outboard Starter

The ARCO Outboard Starter (Mercury/Mariner outboards, 8-Tooth Drive Gear) is dynamically tested and packaged for out-of-the-box performance. It is designed for boaters who want nickel-coated and/or epoxy-painted construction to reduce corrosion, sealed to minimize water intrusion.

ARCO advises using a fully charged battery, since a weak battery can damage the starter and starter solenoid, and cleaning all connections regularly, as a corroded connection creates resistance and lowers the amperage required for an efficient starting circuit. Armatures are tested to withstand 50 times operating voltage (12 volts), backed by ARCO's warranty against defects in materials and workmanship for 12 months of leisure use (90 days for commercial or racing applications).
