How does the starter's electrical and mechanical specification affect installation?

The unit is a 12-volt starter with counterclockwise rotation and a 9-tooth pinion; those three specs are crucial to ensure the starter meshes and spins the flywheel correctly. It is supplied without mounting bolts, so reuse your original fasteners or purchase correct-size hardware separately for installation.

• Voltage: 12V — matches standard marine battery systems on these engines.
• Rotation: CCW (counterclockwise) — must match engine flywheel rotation.
• Tooth Count: 9 — ensures proper gear engagement with flywheel ring gear.
• Mounting Hardware: not included — plan to reuse OEM bolts or order M8/M10 grade marine hardware as needed.

What replacement part numbers and cross-references should I verify?

This starter lists many cross-reference numbers used by OEMs and aftermarket suppliers; checking these against the part number stamped on your original starter will confirm compatibility. Using the cross-reference ensures you replace the exact variant for your engine’s model-year and serial range.

• Included reference numbers: STR88209, SM57046, SAB0078, S2038M, RS41025, PH130-0016, MS-689.
• Additional OEM cross-references: 5059240, 5704640, 583482, 585056, 586279, 20513537TBA.
• When in doubt, match the engine model code (e.g., E40EE 1990) and the starter’s part number from your current unit.
