    Ok follow up question-
    The part number for the ring gear of a RDE-17 is 203486
    The part number for the ring gear of a RDS-20 is 203486
    But both have different part numbers for the flywheel.
    On the parts list (Marine Engine.com) for the RDS-20 it shows the type of flywheel that accommodates a generator.
    The RDS-20 flywheel I own does NOT have the spot that accommodates a generator
    Drum roll
    Can I use the RDS-20 flywheel which I own on a RD-17 to help make it electric start????????
