OEG Parts New Starter SAEJ1171 Compatible with 1996-2007 Mercruiser & Compatible with Volvo Penta V6 V8 Engines Upgrades OEM Delco & Mando 863007A1 50-863007A1

***Quick update for the review below. As of March 2021 this still turns over without any issues. It has been a great starter and even better value. I'll be honest, I thought I would have some type of issue by now but it has been rock solid!*** After reading all of the mixed reviews I wanted to add mine to the mix since it seems like there are good ones and bad ones coming from the manufacturer. Out of the box it was very clean, appears well made and machining, fit, etc. was above average (especially for a price of $65). Bolted in/wired up in no time and cranked without issue first try and every after. Have cranked it over 50+ times in the past week and will get a work out this summer with all the starting and stopping while pulling tubes & skis. Will update at the end of the 2019 season and adjust my review accordingly. Hoping this is one of the good ones.

Very surprised how delivery came within 8 hours. I installed starter in less than two hours and was ready to place my boat into the water and enjoy the balance of the day. Product was as described and absolutely no problem, all at a great price. Thank you

Awesome price and works great in my 2002 Regal cabin cruiser. This was about 1/4 of the price!

Brand new, fast shipping, great fit, started at the house, started at the port, went to the flats, had a great day,when ready to head back to the port, roughly 20miles away from shore, had one click and sparks coming out of the starter,though was the batteries since we had the stereo blasting, switched to two battery power, one click more sparks,super dangerous in an inboard carbed boat. I have a 1500a booster alway at the ready just in case, applied it, boom bigger spark one click in the starter no start. Lasted me 4 days installed and 3 attempted starts before it went bad. Good thing I got a return and it was refunded other than that, STAY AWAY FROM IT, NOT QUALITY MADE!!!!. Bought OEM and so far boat starts every time, and yes it was $250, but the say " you get what you paid for" STAY AWAY!!!!!!!! No Bueno

This starter was just what the doctor ordered. Fit my 2008 Mercruiser 3.0 perfectly with only a small modification to get the back mounting bracket on.. I was able to re-use the original bolts and the bracket (which the picture doesn't show) but the bracket did bolt onto the back bolt with a simple tweak. The price was amazing for a quality product, and shipping was fast. Good fit and finish. I don't care if it's not the Mercury OEM, it fits and it works and looks like a very high quality build. Time will tell, but so far I've used the boat 5 times this spring with the new starter, and it cranked right over each time. Who would believe how much money you just saved me from starter replacement at my local marina.

Good fitment. Arrived promptly. I purchased this starter in November of 2015 for the Mercruiser 5.7 ltr. engine in our boat. So it has lasted seven years. Not bad! It's starting to fail now with a click on ignition attempts until it randomly starts or I bang on it with a hammer. Time to replace. We are not frequent boaters. So a couple of those 7 years we may have only gone out 3 to 4 times. Other years we may have averaged 60 to 100 hours on the water. When we go out we restart frequently for skiing, tubing, and kneeboarding. Soooo..... I am happy to take a chance on purchasing this after market unit again. The price has gone up $33 in 7 years but still better than $230 to $280 for OEM (especially if it again stays reliable for seven seasons.) If it is still reliable after 5 years I may purchase another to have on hand when I need to switch out again.

Had a slow crank on an 86 mercruiser 260 5.7 . Bought the boat at a steal because previous owner had the original starter rebuilt and still had slow crank. Installed this starter, (2 new bolts required at $13 each) Cranks great every time with no issues. Much lighter and smaller than the original starter because starter technology has improved over the last 40 years.

Great value boat starts much faster

Excellent

me gusto el producto, muy buena calidad!

I would rate it less but that's not an option.... this quite within 2 months of installation... worked for just over a month. had the boat into a shop for repairs and the new one would not engage.... I had to get the shop to replace this after only 2 months. the boat shop also said it is NOT marine grade per the ad.... please beware and do not purchase... I tried to contact but they would not get back to me as it was beyond the amazon 30 day return policy.... please DO NOT PURCHASE from this seller!!!!>

Installed starter last year been out several times. Never had any issues.

Bolted right now. Works great. Got it in two days. Happy boater
