Starter Motor for MerCruiser, Crusader, OMC & Volvo Penta - 10MT 12V 9-Tooth

10MT Replacement Marine Starter - 12V, CW, 9-Tooth, High Torque

This starter motor is a direct replacement across MerCruiser, Crusader, OMC, Volvo Penta, Pleasurecraft, Thermo Electron and Berkley Jet marine engine applications, built to OEM specifications for fit and function. It is a replacement for the Delco 10MT unit and bolts straight into the existing mounting points without any drilling or bracket changes.

It is a high-torque 12-volt direct drive unit with clockwise (CW) rotation and a 9-tooth drive gear of 25.1mm (0.988in) outside diameter, fitted with a short solenoid and 0.375in unthreaded mounting ear holes, so your existing wiring loom reconnects directly to the new unit.

  • Clockwise (CW) rotation, 9-Tooth drive gear
  • Replacement for the Delco 10MT unit

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this starter motor fit without modification?

Yes, this is a direct OEM-fit replacement built to the original 10MT specification, so no modification is required for installation - the short solenoid and 9-tooth drive gear match the original marine layout.

What's included?

You will receive one complete starter motor unit, ready to fit. Your existing wiring loom connects directly to the short solenoid.

How can I tell my old starter motor has failed?

Common signs include a clicking noise when starting, a slow or labouring crank, smoke or a burning smell from the starter, or no response at all when the key is turned.

What mounting holes does this starter motor use?

This starter uses the standard drive-end housing (#1892277 / 10496270) with 0.375in unthreaded mounting ear holes; holes may need drilling to 10mm for a universal fit on some installations - please check against your original unit before fitting.

How is this different from the gear reduction version?

This is the direct drive 10MT-style starter with a 9-tooth pinion. The permanent magnet gear reduction (PG260M) unit used on many later engines has 11 teeth and a different mounting flange, so check the tooth count on your original before ordering.
