I have damaged the starter on my 1979 Commander marine 351 ford Windsor. I'm told that the replacement starter for a Pleasurecraft Marine motor will not work on my motor. Searching the internet, I can't find a starter for my motor. Can someone help me? Mark |

Have you tried Vince at SkiDIm? He seems all knowing about boat parts. ------------- 2004 196 LE Ski 1969 Marauder 19 1978 Ski |

Is this starter in a Correct Craft or a different brand of boat? Just asking because CC's of that era had reverse rotating engines which needed a backwards rotating starter. If you know which way your engine rotates it will be pretty straight forward helping you get the right starter. |

Click on the link below and the picture will help with engine and starter rotation. It tells how to determine reverse rotation or normal rotation. http://www.arcomarine.com/xhtml/tech%20determine%20marine%20starter%20rotation.pdf" rel="nofollow - link |

My boat is a 1979 Ski Nautique with a right hand rotation engine, so I would need a right hand rotating Commander marine starter. Mark |

| I would be surprised if the commander and pcm bellhousings are different and require different starter styles. Has anyone else heard of such a thing? HM is the only marinizer I'm aware of that used the shorter nose piece. |

Pretty sure they're the same (99 44/100ths %, just like Ivory soap) Arco 70101 is the old original style and Arco 70201 is the new style 70201 takes a minor wiring change. You can use these part numbers to cross reference to other brands See second post down in linked thread for more info and you need a CCW rotating starter for your RR engine http://www.correctcraftfan.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41332&title=damper-question" rel="nofollow - old thread Put up a picture of your old starter or a part number if you're not sure |

My 1978 starter failed because it had been under water before I got it. I took it to a local starter/electrical/alternator repair shop and they rebuilt it for me. Even installed a new RR drive and the bill was only $65. Just another option. Duane ------------- Keep it as original as YOU want it 1978 Mustang (modified) |

Did Commander ever have a rear top-mounted starter? If so, that would use a conventional rotation starter to turn a RH engine. |
