[QUOTE="turbotodd, post: 477233, member: 7376"] OEM is more expensive for a lot of reasons Remember, most OEM stuff is just that, OEM. Same part that is put on a brand new motor/boat/car/whatever in most cases. They have a warranty, so manufacturers must be able to source a particular part from someone who's going to stand behind it if there is a part failure. That in itself is one big reason for a higher cost. But keep in mind, it's generally gonna last a lot longer than aftermarket part, which doesn't have to carry a warranty to speak of. Aftermarket parts are generally lower quality. Acceptable lower quality is what I was told once. They don't have a 3 year or 5 year warranty on new equipment, they might have 90 days if you're lucky. If it's a chinese part, expect zero warranty. [/QUOTE]
