Review: Delivery - Works great let's see how long it lasts
Review: Junk - Unit failed after a few days. Shaft actually sheared off behind the gear. Upon further inspection comparing to original oem motor, the stator windings are exposed versus the oem which is completely sealed. This motor will not last in any machine for any extended period. U definitely get what you pay for. Buy the oem starter especially since they are a pain to change and leaving u stranded on the water will ruin your day.
