My roomate and i just bought our first boat, aside from the ones my family owned growing up. Its a 1979 205 Gulfstream. The starter is tempermantal and id like to replace it. I was told when we bought it it was powered by a chevy 357, which obviously isnt correct. I believe it could be a mercury 357 however i wanted to know where on the engine i would be able to find this out at? What other engines could it be? Any help is appreciated!
 
350 chevy or 5.7 if was updated pic would be able to tell on year and such
