Overview

If you ride a Yamaha WaveRunner or sportboat, you already know the pure joy of hitting the start button and hearing that familiar surge of power. It is a moment that feels like freedom—whether you are carving through open water or easing away from the dock for a long day of exploring. The Quicksilver 8M6007432 Engine Starter is built for riders who depend on that moment.

Performance & Practical Benefits

WaveRunners and Yamaha sportboats take a beating—salt spray, vibration, hard acceleration, sudden throttle changes. This starter is built with all of that in mind. The engagement feels tight and consistent, even after seasons of use. The permanent magnet design delivers strong torque, so the engine turns over quickly and cleanly instead of dragging or sputtering.

The epoxy-sealed armature keeps corrosion from creeping in, while the upgraded bushings keep the rotation smooth and steady. That means fewer surprises, fewer no-start mornings, and more uninterrupted time on the water. You will feel the difference the moment you press the button—a crisp, confident crank instead of a tired groan.
