Frequently Asked Questions

What makes this a 'Permanent Magnet Gear Reduction' (PMGR) starter?

PMGR starters use permanent magnets instead of traditional field coils and incorporate a gear reduction system. This design allows for a smaller, lighter unit that delivers higher torque and greater efficiency, especially during cold starts, by amplifying the motor's power output to the flywheel.

How do I know if this starter motor (M1786) is compatible with my boat's engine?

This starter is designed for Mercruiser, OMC, and Volvo Penta marine engines based on GM blocks (3.0L, 4.3L, 5.0L, 5.7L, 6.2L) with an offset bolt pattern. The best way to confirm compatibility is to cross-reference your existing starter's OEM part number with the list provided, or verify the specifications (12V, 11 teeth, CW rotation, offset holes) and visually compare with your current unit.

What are the benefits of upgrading to a PMGR starter for my marine application?

Upgrading to a PMGR starter offers several advantages including more reliable engine cranking, especially in cold conditions, reduced battery drain due to higher efficiency, a lighter and more compact design, and enhanced durability against marine corrosion thanks to sealed components.

Note: Please verify your bike's model and year before purchasing.
