ARCO Marine starters

[lakewind]

Has anyone had any negative or positive experiences on Yamaha outboards with Arco marine products in particular starter motors? They say they are manufactured in Pensacola FL and are a little pricey for aftermarket starters but only about 60% of the cost of stock. Their one year warranty covers labor. I would be thankful for any input.

Not on a Yamaha but I’ve had one of theirs on my old GM 4.3 V6 inboard. I think they are good quality for the price & they have a tech line where people actually answer the phone.
