Good To Know

Q: How do I know the solenoid is the problem? A: A single loud click with no crank often points to a failed solenoid, though battery and starter condition should also be checked. Replacing the solenoid restores the switching path between battery and starter.

Q: Is this an original Sea-Doo part? A: No, this is an aftermarket starter solenoid built to replace OEM reference 278000513. It is not manufactured by Sea-Doo.

Slight variation in finish or dimensions may occur between production runs, and fit can depend on serial number, so confirm compatibility before ordering.
