Questions & Answers

Is this a genuine original part?

This is a premium quality aftermarket replacement part, manufactured to meet or exceed original equipment (OE) standards for marine fitment and performance.

How do I know if it is compatible?

We recommend checking the SKU/MPN (873770) and Cross Reference list provided above. If your original part number matches any of these, it is a guaranteed fit.

Why does this alternator have a yellow wire?

The yellow wire is the external battery sense wire. By connecting this directly to the battery or battery isolator, the internal regulator can compensate for voltage drops in the charging cables, ensuring your batteries receive the full 14.4V charge.

Note: Please verify your original part number against the references above before purchasing. All 4Drive products are tested for performance and reliability.
