Product Specifications and Features


Aftermarket Recmar marine starter motor for selected Volvo Penta D4 and D6 diesel engines using Volvo Penta starter reference 21423488 or a confirmed superseded equivalent. Supplier specifications identify a 12V, 11-tooth unit.

Frequently asked questions

Is this a genuine Volvo Penta starter?

No. It is an aftermarket Recmar starter supplied as a compatible replacement.

Will it fit every D4 and D6?

No. Match the existing starter reference, mounting pattern and engine serial; D4/D6 family wording alone is not sufficient.

What should I compare before ordering?

Compare the 12V rating, 11-tooth pinion, rotation, mounting ears and the reference on the starter currently fitted.

Compatibility responsibility: Marine parts can vary by engine suffix, serial number, model year and the unit already fitted. Match all stated selection points before installation.
