Understanding the Differences Between OEM, Aftermarket, and Genuine Parts for Your PWC
When visiting a salvage yard for parts, you might be asked whether you prefer OEM, aftermarket, or genuine parts. Each type has its nuances, often leading to significant quality differences. At PWC Parts Yard, we carry a comprehensive range of salvage jet ski parts, ensuring we likely have the specific component you need.
Do PWC Manufacturers Make Their Own Parts?
Gone are the days when manufacturers produced every part of their vehicles. Nowadays, most manufacturers outsource to specialized companies, ensuring parts are made cost-effectively without sacrificing quality.
Exploring the Types of PWC Parts
Parts for personal watercraft (PWC) are categorized based on their origin or purchase context:
-
Genuine Parts: These are the original parts installed when your watercraft was manufactured. Despite being more expensive due to branding, genuine parts aren't necessarily superior to OEM or aftermarket options.
-
OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) Parts: Made by the original part manufacturers for PWC brands, OEM parts are identical to your watercraft's original components, minus the brand logo. They offer the same reliability as genuine parts but at better value.
-
Aftermarket Parts: Created after the watercraft's manufacture, these parts are produced by companies that have acquired the rights to do so. While they might not always resemble OEM or genuine parts, they are dependable and fulfill the necessary functions.
