Frequently Asked Questions

What are the common signs of a failing marine starter motor?

Signs of a failing starter include repeated clicking when you try to start the engine, slow or labored cranking, or a burning smell coming from the starter area. If you experience these symptoms, it's likely time for a replacement.

Is this starter motor a direct replacement for my Mercury/Mariner outboard?

Yes, this 12V PMDD starter motor is designed as a direct marine-grade replacement for Mercury/Mariner V6 2-stroke outboards, specifically for 135-225 HP models from 1978-2005. Always cross-reference the OEM part number, pinion gear teeth, and shaft/gear details from your original unit to ensure perfect fitment before purchase.

What does PMDD mean for a starter motor?

PMDD stands for Permanent Magnet Direct Drive. This design uses permanent magnets instead of field coils to generate a magnetic field, offering a more compact and often lighter starter motor with efficient power delivery for reliable engine cranking.
