Arco Starting & Charging

<h3>ARCO Marine: Six Decades of Marine Electrical Excellence</h3><p><strong>ARCO Marine</strong> has been the benchmark for marine engine parts since 1960. A USA-based manufacturer located in Pensacola, Florida, ARCO was a pioneer in the OEM replacement parts segment and has built a reputation synonymous with premium quality and part reliability. For boaters who refuse to compromise when it comes to starting and charging systems, ARCO has been the go-to name for nearly six decades.</p><h3>Built in the USA, Tested Beyond OEM Standards</h3><p>What truly separates ARCO from the competition is its uncompromising approach to quality control. ARCO Marine manufactures, quality-tests, and warehouses its parts right here in the USA. ARCO over-engineers its parts to exceed and outlast OEM standards, often engineering out known part deficiencies, and every part that ships from their warehouse has been tested prior to boxing — resulting in some of the lowest failure rates in the marine engine parts industry.</p><p>The rigorous testing protocol is a cornerstone of the brand. All armatures are tested to withstand 50 times the operating voltage, and all motors are performance-tested at five different load levels — every motor must meet or exceed OEM performance before being boxed. For marine enthusiasts, that kind of assurance is invaluable when you're miles from shore.</p><h3>Starter Motors: Reliable Starts, Every Time</h3><p>ARCO's lineup of <a href="/7236-arco-starting-charging-starter-motor-4152">starter motors</a> covers both inboard and outboard marine engines across a wide range of makes and models. Whether you run a Mercruiser, Volvo Penta, Yamaha, or OMC-powered vessel, there's an ARCO replacement starter engineered to fit and perform. ARCO Marine's inboard starters qualify for an additional year of parts warranty when registered within 30 days of purchase. That confidence in their product comes from the same precision manufacturing that has defined the brand since its founding.</p><h3>Trim and Tilt Units: Smooth, Dependable Control</h3><p>Proper outboard and outdrive positioning is critical for fuel efficiency, handling, and performance — which is why a dependable tilt/trim system matters so much. ARCO's trim and tilt units are engineered to the same exacting standards as the rest of the ARCO lineup. ARCO offers both wire wound and permanent magnet tilt/trim motors, covering a broad range of outboard and sterndrive applications. ARCO Marine's tilt/trim motors qualify for an additional year of parts warranty when registered within 30 days of purchase.</p><h3>The ARCO Assurance Warranty</h3><p>Sixty years of proven dependability make ARCO the trusted source for marine engine parts that meet or exceed OEM standards, and the ARCO Assurance Warranty Program has customers covered — including both parts and labor for covered products. For any boater who demands confidence in their electrical systems, ARCO Marine delivers the peace of mind that comes from a brand built on integrity, precision, and genuine marine expertise.</p>

I received the correct item but I received gray items instead of white like the picture showed.

Great price and c Extremely fast delivery, I'm totally satisfied with this company !!! Mark J. G.

Customer Service and parts worked out well.

I ordered a specific product, that was advertised, and then received a cancellation notice, and refund, due to the products unavailability. Then, another similar product was sent in its place, that has the same part #. But it isn`t the same, using it. I actually have contacted the manufacturer about them selling their own different product under the same part #. And they have replied saying that the formula for it hasn`t changed, even though the packaging has. But I have the older version and the new version, of their product, and the new, isn`t as effective. I have since re-sent more specific`s on it, and am waiting their reply.
