Troubleshooting & FAQ

How do I know if my existing starter motor is failing?

Common signs of a failing starter include a clicking sound when turning the key, slow or labored engine cranking, or the starter motor spinning without engaging the flywheel. If the engine won't turn over but the lights and electronics work, the starter is a likely culprit.

Will this starter fit my Perkins 404C-22 engine?

Yes, this starter motor is listed as a compatible replacement for Perkins part number 1850866, which covers the 404C-22 model. Always double-check the mounting specifications and electrical connections against your old part before installation.

What causes a marine starter motor to fail?

Failure is often due to corrosion from exposure to moisture and salt, internal wear on brushes and bearings, or electrical issues like a faulty solenoid or overheating. Loose connections and low battery voltage can also strain the motor over time.

Is this a direct drive or gear reduction starter?

This is a direct drive starter motor. The specifications confirm this fitting type, which is common for many of the listed compatible engines.

Can I install this starter myself?

While installation is straightforward for those with mechanical experience, we recommend professional installation. This ensures the starter is mounted correctly, all electrical connections are secure, and the system is tested for safe operation.

Why are there so many cross-referenced part numbers?

This starter is used across several engine manufacturers (Volvo Penta, Perkins, etc.) who each assign their own part number. Additionally, aftermarket brands create their own reference numbers. This matrix helps you confirm that our part is the correct equivalent for any of those listed numbers.

OEM vs. Aftermarket?

This listing is an aftermarket replacement (not OEM). It is built to OEM-level specifications with comparable materials. All parts are manufactured in an ISO 9002 facility and are batch-inspected for consistency and quality.

Shipping speed & cost?

We ship worldwide quickly—typical transit is 5–15 days. Standard shipping is free; expedited options will appear at checkout if they are available for your location.

Warranty & returns?

This part is covered by a 1-year warranty against manufacturing defects under normal use. If any issues arise, contact our support team with your order details. Returns are accepted within our standard window, provided the item is unused and in its original condition. Please see our full policy page or reach out for instructions.
