Is this the right starter for my Sea Drive?

[chrisrub]

I have an OMC Sea Drive 1.6L, from what I can tell this will work for my application. What do you think?

Is there a reason this is so cheap? I had a starter for this motor rebuilt about 3 years ago and it cost me $150. My starter works fine now, but the post where the batt cable hooks onto is very corroded and has me worrying!

Yes, that one will work. Most all of teh parts on your 1.6L sea-drive are the same as that years 115HP outboard. $150 for a rebuild is just downright rape for one of these starters. A full endcap kit is normally about $30 for one and maybe another $40 for turning the armeture and putting the cap on is all I could see for it. The one in teh ad is just a chinese knock-off is why it is so cheap, but even a good brand name ARCO is only about $150-200.

I just found and bought an ARCO starter on ebay for the same price. It was mounted but never used for $69. Can't beat that!
