CATEGORY 1 — Yanmar Engine Parts
What Yanmar engine parts does Captain's Locker carry?
Captain's Locker stocks both OEM Yanmar and Recmar aftermarket parts for the full Yanmar recreational marine engine lineup — from the single-cylinder 1GM through the high-output 8LV diesel, plus Sail Drive units SD25 through SD150. Our catalog covers impellers, heat exchangers, exhaust elbows, fuel and oil filters, belts, gaskets and seal kits, anodes, freshwater pump components, injectors, thermostat assemblies, and complete maintenance service kits cross-referenced to each engine model.
Does Captain's Locker carry Yanmar 4JH parts?
Yes. We stock parts for the full Yanmar 4JH engine family including the 4JH2, 4JH3, 4JH4, 4JH5, 4JH45, 4JH57, and 4JH80. Both OEM Yanmar components and Recmar aftermarket alternatives are available. Common items in stock include raw water impellers, heat exchangers, oil and fuel filters, drive belts, exhaust elbows, gasket sets, and full annual service kits.
What is the difference between OEM Yanmar parts and Recmar aftermarket parts?
OEM Yanmar parts are genuine factory components manufactured to Yanmar's original specifications. Recmar aftermarket parts are manufactured in Barcelona, Spain by a company specializing in marine engine replacements — they are engineered to meet or exceed OEM fit, form, and function, are ISO 9001 certified, and carry a minimum 2-year warranty. Many boat owners and professional marine mechanics choose Recmar parts because they offer comparable quality at a lower price point, with a longer warranty than many OEM parts carry.
How do I find the right Yanmar part by engine model?
Captain's Locker organizes Yanmar parts by engine family. Browse our engine-model sub-collections (1GM, 2GM, 3GM, 3JH, 4JH, 4LV, 6LY, 8LV, Sail Drives, and others) to find parts filtered to your specific engine series. For part-number-specific queries, call us at 310-726-3339 or email store@captains-locker.com — our team can cross-reference OEM part numbers to confirm fitment.
Does Captain's Locker ship Yanmar parts nationwide?
Yes. We ship Yanmar parts to the continental United States, Alaska, and Hawaii. Standard shipping starts at $8.95. Most in-stock orders ship within 1–2 business days from our Long Beach, California warehouse.
Can I buy Yanmar parts without going through an authorized dealer?
Yes. Captain's Locker sells OEM Yanmar parts directly to the public and to marine service businesses without requiring dealer authorization. We also offer Recmar aftermarket alternatives to most Yanmar service parts, providing a more cost-effective option with equivalent quality and a 2-year warranty.
CATEGORY 2 — MercCruiser Outdrive Parts
What MercCruiser outdrive parts does Captain's Locker stock?
Captain's Locker stocks replacement parts for MercCruiser Alpha One Gen 1, Alpha One Gen 2, Bravo One, Bravo Two, and Bravo Three sterndrive systems. Our inventory includes complete anode kits (zinc and aluminum), bellows and transom seal kits, raw water impellers, tilt and trim motors, ignition modules, distributor assemblies, heat exchanger components, and fuel system parts. We source from Performance Metals, ARCO Marine, Tecnoseal, Sierra, and Recmar.
What anode kit fits a MercCruiser Alpha One Gen 2?
Captain's Locker stocks complete anode kits specifically for the MercCruiser Alpha One Gen 2 outdrive, available in both zinc (for salt and brackish water) and aluminum (for all water types including fresh water). Our kits include all required hardware. Search our MercCruiser collection or call 310-726-3339 for current part number availability.
How often should I replace the bellows on a MercCruiser Alpha One?
Mercury Marine recommends inspecting bellows annually and replacing them every 3 years or 300 hours, whichever comes first — or immediately if any cracking, hardening, or damage is visible. A failed bellows allows water to enter the transom assembly, which can cause serious engine damage. Captain's Locker stocks complete bellows and transom seal kits for Alpha One and Bravo series outdrives.
Does Captain's Locker carry MercCruiser tilt and trim motors?
Yes. We stock ARCO Marine replacement tilt and trim motors for MercCruiser applications including BF175, BF200, and BF225 inboard/outboard configurations. ARCO Marine tilt/trim motors are direct-fit replacements engineered to OEM specifications. Call 310-726-3339 or check our MercCruiser collection to confirm fitment for your specific drive.

Our Honda parts inventory covers water pump impeller kits, complete water pump repair kits, oil and fuel filters, spark plugs, ignition coils and modules, tilt and trim motors, anode kits, thermostat components, gearcase seal kits, and annual maintenance service kits. Parts are sourced from ARCO Marine, Recmar, Sierra, and Performance Metals, cross-referenced to Honda OEM part numbers.
What water pump kit fits a Honda BF115?
Captain's Locker stocks water pump impeller and repair kits for the Honda BF115 outboard. Our kits include the impeller, housing gasket, and seal components needed for a complete water pump service. Parts are cross-referenced to Honda OEM part numbers to ensure correct fitment. Search our Honda BF115 collection page or call 310-726-3339 for specific part numbers.
Are aftermarket Honda BF outboard parts reliable?
Yes, when sourced from quality manufacturers. Captain's Locker stocks Honda aftermarket parts from ARCO Marine, Sierra Marine, and Recmar — established marine aftermarket manufacturers whose parts are engineered to OEM specifications, used by professional marine service shops, and backed by manufacturer warranties. Aftermarket parts for Honda BF outboards typically cost 30–50% less than Honda dealer pricing for equivalent components.

CATEGORY 4 — Recmar Aftermarket Parts
What is Recmar and why does Captain's Locker carry it?
Recmar is a Spanish manufacturer of ISO 9001-certified aftermarket marine engine parts, headquartered in Barcelona. They specialize in producing high-precision replacements for major marine diesel and gasoline engines — Yanmar, Volvo Penta, Mercury, Cummins, Caterpillar, Detroit Diesel, and others. Captain's Locker is a primary US distributor for Recmar because their parts deliver OEM-equivalent quality at a significantly lower price point, with a minimum 2-year warranty that often exceeds OEM warranty terms.
Do Recmar parts carry a warranty?
Yes. All Recmar parts sold through Captain's Locker carry a minimum 2-year manufacturer warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. This is longer than the warranty on many OEM marine parts. Recmar's ISO 9001 certification ensures quality control standards are maintained at their Barcelona manufacturing facility.
Are Recmar parts compatible with my Yanmar engine?
Recmar manufactures aftermarket parts for the full Yanmar recreational marine engine lineup — 1GM, 2GM, 3GM, 3JH, 4JH, 4LV, 6LY, 8LV series and more. Every Recmar part in our catalog is cross-referenced to the corresponding Yanmar OEM part number. If you have a Yanmar part number, we can confirm whether a Recmar alternative is available.
