Has anyone used one , are they anygood , good quality etc?
The exact same ones from Mancini (~130 bucks) are on ebay for 75 - 85 bucks.I would recommend Mancini Racing and ask for a Denso. This is the starter used on the newer generations of Dodge trucks, vans etc.
I have had really good customer service with Mancini, and far the opposite from 440 Source.
Or you could fix that leaky fuel line...:laughing7:I also need another explosion resistant one.
If you're taking it in salt water you'll be fine with all of the recommendations on this thread.
But gas fumes in the hull are...???... Because salt water isn't flamable?
Marine engine components are designed to be spark arrested, i.e., starters, alternators, carbs, etc. Thermostats and water pumps use different materials because the salt water corrodes and is very destructive to metal and seals. Marine thermostarts are made out of brass, water pumps are aluminum, carbs have special spark arrestors to prevent fires, brass parts instead of steel, etc. Being near the ocean, I see a lot of guys buy automotive application parts, usually less than half of the cost of marine parts. A couple of times every summer you see boats that completely burn up on the water. Also see a number of boats being towed back to shore because of automotive parts failing.
