The ARCO Marine Outboard Starter is a great fit for Chrysler/Force engines with 70 - 150 HP and a 9 - tooth drive gear. It offers excellent performance right out of the box, thanks to dynamic testing and careful packaging.
To ensure its long - term operation, ARCO recommends using a fully - charged battery. A weak battery can harm the starter and solenoid. Also, clean all connections as corroded ones create resistance and reduce the amperage needed for efficient starting.
Key features include nickel - coating and epoxy - painting to prevent corrosion, a sealed design to minimize water intrusion, and a long - life and high - performance design. The armatures can withstand 50 times the operating voltage of 12 volts.
All ARCO products come with a warranty. For leisure use, it's 12 months, and for commercial or racing, it's 90 days. You can add an extra year of warranty to rotating electric ARCO products by registering within 30 days of purchase at arcomarine.com/product - registration.
This starter replaces many models from Chrysler, Mercury, and Force, such as CHRYSLER 480955, MERCURY 50 - 819085, and FORCE F616955. Note that this product can't be returned to the original purchase point. Contact the manufacturer directly for any issues.
There's also a Quick Guide (pdf) available.
