Design Features & Performance Advantages
OSGR-74 Planetary Gear Reduction Structure: Utilizes OSGR-74 series planetary reduction architecture with 1.4KW power output suitable for 3-cylinder marine diesel engines. Compact design with efficient torque output, perfectly matching installation space in marine engine compartments. 15-tooth drive gear with precise modulus ensures smooth engagement with flywheel ring gear, reducing gear wear and noise.
HITACHI Original Mold Design, Direct Replacement: Developed and manufactured based on HITACHI original structure. Mounting holes, wiring terminals, and fixing dimensions are 1:1 matched with original parts. No modifications required — direct installation for maintenance replacement. Compatible with YANMAR 3JH2 and 3JH2BE marine engines.
Premium Materials, Marine-Grade Durability: Stator and rotor use high-purity enameled windings with Class F insulation resistant to high temperatures, preventing overheating damage during frequent start-stop cycles in marine applications. High-wear-resistant graphite brushes ensure stable conductivity and extend service life. Aluminum alloy die-cast housing with corrosion-resistant coating provides vibration resistance, impact protection, and saltwater splash resistance, suitable for harsh marine environments. Built-in high-quality one-way clutch automatically disengages after engine start, preventing flywheel back-drive damage to starter.
Marine & Export Market Customization: Specifically developed for marine and industrial applications with parameters adapted to Yanmar diesel engine platforms. Meets requirements for overseas marine parts wholesale and repair shop maintenance replacements.
Quality & Application Information
Factory-controlled full-process production with comprehensive outgoing inspections including no-load performance, load torque, lock parameters, and insulation withstand voltage testing. Complies with international marine and automotive starter manufacturing standards.
Application Scenarios: Marine engine assembly, industrial equipment, domestic and international marine parts retail, boatyard and repair shop faulty part replacement. Optimal replacement starter for YANMAR 3JH2 and 3JH2BE marine engines (1991-1999).
Frequently Asked Questions
I. Product Selection
Q1: Is the SHI12C038 starter a brand‑new product?
A: Yes, it is 100% brand new. Leshan Dongfeng Automobile Electric Appliance Co., Ltd. (LSDF) guarantees that all starters we sell are factory‑manufactured new units — never rebuilt or used. We fully understand that reliability in the starting system is critical to vessel safety and operational efficiency, which is why we consistently deliver the highest quality new components.
Q2: Which equipment is this starter compatible with?
A: The SHI12C038 is developed and manufactured based on the original HITACHI design, with mounting holes, terminals, and fixing dimensions matching OEM specifications 1:1 for direct bolt‑on replacement. It is primarily suited for YANMAR 3JH2 and 3JH2BE marine engines (1991-1999). In addition, its broad OE cross‑reference list (see the compatibility table on our product page) allows it to serve as a direct replacement for many international brand marine and industrial equipment that use the same starter specifications.
