Description
The ProTorque 23-Tooth Bendix Starter Drive is engineered to deliver strong, reliable starting performance for personal watercraft that require a high-engagement gear design. Built to withstand the demanding forces generated during repeated start cycles, this Bendix drive ensures smooth, consistent engagement with the flywheel, giving riders the dependable ignition performance they expect from ProTorque components.
Constructed from hardened, high-strength steel, the 23-tooth gear offers exceptional durability against wear, chipping, and the mechanical shock loads that occur during high-compression starts. The precision-cut teeth provide accurate meshing with the flywheel, minimizing slippage, kickback, and premature wear that can occur with lower-quality components. Whether the engine is stock or modified, this Bendix drive ensures crisp, predictable engagement every time the starter motor is activated.
Inside, the reinforced spring mechanism is tuned to deliver the proper tension needed for reliable engagement and disengagement throughout the starting cycle. This helps maintain strong, consistent ignition behavior even as the engine and electrical system experience temperature or voltage variation. Riders benefit from faster, cleaner starts with reduced grinding and smoother mechanical operation.
Designed as a direct OEM-replacement, the ProTorque 23-tooth starter drive installs quickly and fits securely with no modifications required. It?s an ideal upgrade or service-replacement for PWC riders who need dependable starting performance and a drive system capable of handling repeated recreational use or more demanding performance conditions.
