Hello;
I just brought another boat & it has a 1988 40hp Nissan outboard #NS40C with full controls. The starter is shot (it was all rusted to Hell-I'm guessing it's the original). With the help of a neighbor friend of mine, I cleaned it up & tried rebuilding it but, it still doesn't function properly. The starter is a Hitachi # S108-98 & it costs anywhere between $180.00-$250.00+ to buy (depending where) & the 1992 is about $84.00. Anyway what I was wanting to know is, would a starter from a 1992 Nissan 40hp NS40C would work (see link)? Outside of a bolt hole on both sides near the top of the 1992 starter, I see no fundamental difference between the 2 starters. How about between a Hitachi #S108-98 & a #S108-94? Thanks
