Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between a marine starter and an automotive starter?

Marine starters, unlike automotive ones, are designed with sealed electrical systems and corrosion-resistant components to prevent sparks and withstand harsh saltwater environments. This 'external ignition protection' (SAE J1171 certified) is crucial to avoid igniting fuel vapors in an enclosed bilge, ensuring safety on your boat.

How do I know if my marine starter is failing?

Common signs of a failing marine starter include a clicking sound but no engine turnover, slow cranking, grinding noises during start-up, or the starter simply not engaging. If you experience these issues, a replacement like the SDR0272 can restore reliable starting.

Is this a new or remanufactured starter?

This is a brand new aftermarket starter, not a rebuilt or remanufactured unit. New starters typically offer greater longevity and performance reliability right out of the box.

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