Parts Player Sea‑Doo 12V Starter for 782cc Rotax PWC (1995–1999) — CCW, 9‑Tooth, Direct‑Fit

Parts Player OEG New 12V starter is a direct-fit replacement designed to restart Rotax 782cc Sea‑Doo 2‑stroke engines used in GSX, GTX, SPX, XP, Challenger and Speedster models from 1995–1999.

This replacement starter motor matches OEM form, fit and rotation for a wide range of Sea‑Doo personal watercraft that use the 782cc Rotax/BRP engines. It arrives new from the factory with a counterclockwise rotation, nine teeth on the pinion, and three mounting holes, making it suitable for owners restoring older Sea‑Doos or replacing a worn starter without modifying the hull or mounting points. Check the fitment chart below to confirm compatibility with your specific model year and engine variant.

Which Sea‑Doo models and years will this starter fit?

How does this starter compare to the original (OEM) unit?

The Parts Player OEG starter is supplied new and reproduces key OEM specifications so it installs and performs like the factory part. It carries many equivalent replacement numbers so it’s a practical swap if your OEM starter is damaged or seized.

• Voltage: 12V; power ~0.6 kW; CCW rotation for direct replacement.
• Nine‑tooth pinion and three mounting holes match original geometry.
• Replaces multiple OEM part numbers listed in the fitment and features section.

What should I check before ordering this replacement starter?

Confirm physical and electrical compatibility with your craft to avoid returns. Verify rotation, tooth count, mounting hole layout and the engine model/year against your existing starter and service manual.

• Compare the part’s rotation (CCW) and tooth count (9) with the worn starter.
• Match mounting hole spacing and electrical connector style to the hull harness.
• Cross‑reference the listed replacement part numbers with your OEM part number.

What tools or installation steps are generally required?

Installation follows standard starter removal procedures for Sea‑Doo 2‑stroke engines; it typically requires basic hand tools and safe battery isolation. If you’re not comfortable with electrical or drivetrain work, have a certified mechanic or PWC technician complete the swap.

• Disconnect battery and secure the craft before starting work.
• Remove mounting bolts, disconnect electrical leads and swap the unit in reverse order.
• Torque mounting bolts to manufacturer specs and test starter engagement once reconnected.

Who this upgrade is for: This starter suits owners, restorers and marine technicians working on Sea‑Doo personal watercraft from the mid‑1990s who need a reliable, new replacement that matches OEM dimensions and electrical specification. It’s aimed at anyone replacing a failed starter, rebuilding an older hull, or keeping an older Rotax 782cc engine running with a correct‑spec part. If your application requires mounting hardware or a different rotation/tooth count, consult the fitment chart or contact Parts Player to confirm the correct unit.
