Using your ARCO Marine Inboard Starter is easy. First, make sure your battery is fully charged. A weak battery can harm the starter and solenoid. Also, clean all the connections to ensure smooth starting. Install the starter on your 6.0L GM Engines. It rotates counter - clockwise and the gear reduction gives it great performance. When it comes to maintenance, since it's nickel - coated or epoxy - painted, it resists corrosion well. But it's still a good idea to check for any signs of rust from time to time. The starter is sealed to keep water out, but avoid long - term submersion. If you face any issues, don't return it to the store. Contact the manufacturer directly. Remember, if you register your product within 30 days of purchase at arcomarine.com/product - registration, you can get an extra year of warranty for your rotating electric ARCO product.
