Which Yamaha models will this starter work with?

The starter is designed to fit a broad range of Yamaha marine models. It matches the original starter mounting, tooth and spline counts for these applications so installation is straightforward when the specifications align.

• Compatible families include WaveRunner, GP, LST, XA, SV, XLT and Exciter series.
• Specific model years covered: examples from 1997 through 2009 for listed variants.
• Works with engines from 784cc up to 1297cc where OEM part numbers correspond.

How does the starter compare to OEM parts and replacement numbers?

This Parts Player unit is supplied new and intended as a like-for-like replacement for multiple legacy part numbers. It cross-references many OEM and aftermarket interchange codes so you can confirm fitment against your current starter label or service manual before purchase.

• Replaces original numbers such as 63M-81800-00-00 and many common aftermarket codes.
• Same key specs: 12V, CW rotation, 9 teeth, 9 splines, two mounting holes.
• No mounting hardware included—use existing fasteners or OEM hardware for reinstallation.

What should I check before buying and installing this starter?

Confirm the physical and electrical match with the starter on your craft. Verify tooth and spline counts, rotation direction, voltage, and mounting hole pattern to prevent returns or fitment issues.

• Compare the part number on your old starter to the cross-reference list supplied by Parts Player.
• Ensure your charger/battery system provides a healthy 12V supply for cranking.
• Keep in mind the product ships as a single piece and does not include bolts or wiring terminals.

Will this starter require modifications or extra parts to install?

Most buyers will not need to modify their watercraft; the unit is designed for direct replacement. However, because mounting hardware and electrical connectors are not included, you may reuse factory fasteners and terminals when they are in good condition.

• Intended for bolt-on installation using the two original mounting holes.
• Re-use OEM bolts and wiring connectors when possible to ensure secure fit and proper grounding.
• If terminals are corroded, plan to replace them for reliable electrical contact.

Who is this for: This Parts Player starter suits DIY mechanics, marine repair shops, and owners of compatible Yamaha WaveRunner and watercraft models who need an affordable, new replacement for a failed starter motor. It’s particularly useful when the original starter shows wear but the rest of the starting system (battery, solenoid, wiring) is in good working order. Always confirm compatibility with your model year and the starter's specifications before ordering to ensure a seamless replacement.
