Sierra New Permanent Magnet Starter – Yamaha 4-Stroke Outboards | 47-6959
Upgrade your Yamaha 4-stroke outboard’s starting system with this brand-new Sierra permanent magnet starter. Engineered to meet or exceed OEM output specifications, it delivers more torque and longer service life than conventional wound-field starters — thanks to a permanent magnet design that runs cooler and more efficiently under repeated cranking cycles. Every internal component is built for durability, from the high-temperature epoxy-coated armature to the 90/10 copper bushings.
Compatible Applications
- Yamaha 4-stroke outboard engines in the F150–F250 range
- Refer to Sierra’s current application guide to confirm fitment for your specific engine model and year
Key Features
- Brand new — not remanufactured or rebuilt
- Permanent magnet design for more torque and longer service life than wound-field starters
- Meets or exceeds OEM output specifications
- High-temperature epoxy-coated armature secures and insulates windings under heat stress
- 90/10 copper bushings or heavy-duty needle bearings for extended bearing life
- Backed by the Sierra warranty
Parts Desk Insights
The permanent magnet design is a meaningful upgrade over the wound-field starters found in many OEM applications — it produces more torque at lower current draw, which means faster cranking and less strain on the battery and wiring. This 47-6959 is sized for larger Yamaha 4-stroke outboards in the F150–F250 range. If you’re running a smaller Yamaha 4-stroke in the 75–115 HP range, see the Sierra Permanent Magnet Starter for Yamaha 4-Stroke (47-6826) instead. For a gear-reduction hi-performance upgrade across the Yamaha 4-stroke range, see the Sierra Hi-Performance Gear-Reduction Starter for Yamaha 4-Stroke (47-5920). For a standard-output alternative on Yamaha F115, the Arco Replacement Starter for Yamaha F115 & LF115 is also available.
