<h3>ARCO Starting &amp; Charging: The Marine Industry&apos;s Gold Standard</h3><p>When a boater turns the key and nothing happens miles from the dock, the name they wish they had trusted is <strong>ARCO Marine</strong>. For more than six decades, ARCO Starting &amp; Charging has been the benchmark for dependable marine engine electrical components — building and testing every unit at their facility in Pensacola, Florida to ensure each part meets or exceeds original equipment manufacturer (OEM) specifications before it ever reaches a customer.</p><p>Founded in 1960, ARCO set out with a straightforward mission: deliver peace of mind to boat owners and marine technicians through products they can rely on. That philosophy hasn&apos;t changed. Every component ARCO manufactures — from outboard <a href="/7236-arco-starting-charging-starter-motor-4152">starter motors</a> to high-output alternators — is rigorously load-tested beyond normal operating conditions. It&apos;s the kind of commitment that has made ARCO the trusted choice of professional marine service technicians and weekend boaters alike for generations.</p><h3>Purpose-Built for the Harshest Marine Environments</h3><p>Saltwater, humidity, and vibration are relentless adversaries for any electrical component. ARCO engineers their products specifically for these conditions. Their <a href="/7236-arco-starting-charging-tilttrim-motors-201071">tilt/trim motors</a> and <a href="/7236-arco-starting-charging-trim-and-tilt-units-201108">trim and tilt units</a> are designed to perform reliably through years of saltwater exposure, while their <a href="/7236-arco-starting-charging-alternators-200087">alternators</a> — including the advanced Zeus High Output Alternator line — are purpose-built to charge modern battery banks faster and handle the electrical demands of today&apos;s feature-rich vessels. ARCO makes OEM replacement parts compatible with leading engine manufacturers including Mercury, Yamaha, Volvo Penta, MerCruiser, Honda, Evinrude, Suzuki, and many others, making cross-referencing straightforward for technicians and DIYers alike.</p><h3>Innovation with the Zeus High Energy Platform</h3><p>ARCO&apos;s Zeus line represents the brand&apos;s push into next-generation marine charging technology. Zeus High Output Alternators and Bluetooth-enabled voltage regulators are engineered for multi-voltage compatibility and rated IP68 for protection against water intrusion — a critical specification in marine applications. The Zeus ecosystem is purpose-built to support lithium battery banks, high-draw accessories, and demanding live-aboard or commercial use cases where consistent power output is non-negotiable.</p><h3>OEM Quality, Factory Warranty, American-Made</h3><p>ARCO backs their entire rotating electric parts lineup — including their <a href="/7236-arco-starting-charging-starters-inboard-201008">inboard starters</a> — with the ARCO Assurance warranty program, offering coverage against defects in materials and workmanship. Manufacturing, quality testing, warehousing, and fulfillment all take place in the United States, giving buyers confidence in consistent quality control from start to finish. For anyone maintaining a vessel and unwilling to compromise on reliability, ARCO Starting &amp; Charging remains the definitive choice in marine engine electrical components.</p>

Product Details

Key Features:

  • 9-tooth drive gear configuration for optimal engagement
  • 1-piece drive assembly design for older OMC outboard starters
  • Fits Arco starter models 5370, 5371, 5389, and 5390

Important Note: This is a 1-piece drive assembly. Some newer BRP/OMC outboard starters use a 2-piece drive assembly (DVK89). These assemblies are not interchangeable, so verify your starter configuration before ordering.

Arco Marine has been manufacturing premium electrical components for marine engines since 1960 from their facility in Pensacola, Florida. Every part is engineered to outlast OEM specifications and undergoes rigorous testing to ensure industry-leading reliability.

Ordering was very quick. Its still a little strange not knowing the company or the people you're buying from, but the pricing you offered was very reasonable and the option for 2nd day air shipping was very satisfying. I had actually placed an order with Walmart after speaking with both autozone and advanced auto parts. Although my order was already being processed by Walmart, I canceled it in order to try your service as you could get the product to me faster than walmart could; so I'm praying that all goes well with your company. Thanks. C

The 20 percent discount on shipping did not apply during the check out process and it was too late to go back and correct it.

The amazon option makes check out a breeze

Autoplicity had the best price on the part I wanted. It was shipped fast directly from the manufacturer. When I opened the box, there were some cosmetic blemishes, so I called Autoplicity at 6pm EST. Rob immediately answered the phone, looked at the pictures I sent him through e-mail, then forwarded the pictures to a representative at the manufacturer. Rob then called me back and gave me the name, phone number and extension of the person I needed to speak to. After giving my information to that person, a pre-paid return label was e-mailed to me from the manufacturer, and that same week, I had the replacement part in my possession. Great customer service!
