Since another thread was ambushed with this I figured I would put a not out where it can be easily found!
Fo the guy & dolls that don't know marine starters and alternators have seals and spark arrestor features that automotive units do not! You very life can well depend upon the use of the proper components, any electrical item aboard must be USCG approved. This sure in hell is not a joke and VERY important, the few $$ you save using auto can ruin the rest of your life! I do not know how else to word it to get that point across, I have been on the fuel docks at my old place of work when one of the Geniuses boats blew the deck hatches 25 feet in the air and caught fire.
PLEASE PLEASE USE THE RIGHT STUFF!
M.O.P.
