Delivery was on time! The product arrived earlier than expected. The starter is much smaller than the original OEM. Installation was easy. You'll need some spacers to compensate for the length of the bolt since the starter is actually smaller. The engine started immediately with no hesitation. Can't wait to get back on the water this weekend. I will let you know if there are any problems. Otherwise, an exchange is strongly recommended. 1992 Sunbird Corsair 185sl4.3 OMC Cobra v6 Original OEM #1998570** Product update: Issues dated 4th November 2016. On 23rd October the starter failed. Not even 45 days have passed. I asked the company for advice and was told the wrong part had been ordered. Before placing my first order I provided the OEM number to see if it was compatible and they confirmed it was. Well, today they suggested that I order exactly PP6423N. It's not the end of the world, but it's definitely an inconvenience.

Pros
  • Sturdy design
Cons
  • Negative impression
