Arco 3432 Replacement Outboard Starter Motor
The Arco 3432 is a direct-fit replacement starter for Yamaha’s F115 and LF115 4-stroke outboards from 2000 onward. The F115 is one of Yamaha’s most popular and enduring 4-stroke outboard models, and the LF115 is its counter-rotation counterpart — both use the same Hitachi S114-838A starter, which the 3432 replaces with a 13-tooth drive gear and no modifications required. Whether your F115 is powering a center console, a bay boat, or a family runabout, this starter restores reliable, confident cranking.

Parts Desk Insights
The F115 is one of the most common 4-stroke outboards on the water, and the 3432 is the go-to replacement starter for this engine family. The LF115 counter-rotation fitment is a notable advantage — both standard and counter-rotation F115 engines use the same starter, so this single part covers twin-engine setups where one motor is counter-rotation. Confirm your tooth count (13-tooth) before ordering, as other Yamaha 4-stroke starters in adjacent HP ranges use different tooth counts. For Yamaha 80–100 HP 4-stroke applications, see the Arco 3430. For a Sierra alternative on Yamaha 4-stroke outboards, the Sierra 47-5920 Hi-Performance Gear-Reduction Starter is worth considering. For other Yamaha electrical service needs, the Arco 6260 Yamaha Heavy-Duty Power Tilt & Trim Motor is a popular companion item.
