I'm on the hunt for a replacement starter for my Chris Craft 327F engine. The one I've got is a Prestolite MDO-4106, and it's mounted on the starboard side. If anyone has any leads on a modern cross-reference or a good source where I can find one, I would really appreciate it! It would make my day. Thanks so much!

Welcome to the club of old boat owners needing specific parts! haha
Prestolite MDO-4106 for the Chris Craft 327F huh? I'd hit up Boats net website or similar large online marine parts warehouses. yeah, sometimes they have older cross reference tools in their systems, even if they don't explicitly list it for your engine.

or, you can always find it on Ebay / Facebook Marketplace. Seriously, set up an alert for 'Prestolite MDO-4106' and 'Chris Craft 327F starter'. You'd be surprised what pops up

Try MarineEngine.com or call around to older marina shops as they sometimes have these hidden away or something. You can also check Arco or Sierra.
 
If you need a replacement for the Prestolite MDO-4106 for your 327F, I recommend checking with marine rebuilders or starter shops. They usually have cross-reference options since it's a common fit for vintage models.
