Red Tiger Lotus

Scientific Name: Nymphaea zenkeri

Common Names: Red Tiger Lotus, Nymphaea Tiger Lotus

The Red Tiger Lotus is a beloved tropical lily among blackwater, biotope, and botanical method aquarium enthusiasts for its dark red leaves. These plants feature vibrant reddish leaves and can even produce fragrant flowers under optimal conditions. Surprisingly easy to care for, they thrive in well-lit spaces without requiring specific care.

Although fertilizer can promote growth, it may lead to the development of long-stalked floating leaves that can block light from other plants. However, these leaves can also bear beautiful white flowers, enhancing the tank's aesthetics. The Red Tiger Lotus adapts well to various water conditions, tolerating both acidic and alkaline environments. Regular removal of long-stalked leaves ensures that lower plants receive adequate light, maintaining a balanced aquarium ecosystem.

New starter
Part came promptly and was a direct match to the original starter. I did a bench test prior to install and had no issues.

Bit Longer than Genuine Quicksilver Starter Not same fit
It’s close to the Quicksilver Mercruiser starter but it’s not the same length and size. Also the internal gear sits differently. My 2012 Tahoe Mercruiser Alpha 3.0 has a back bracket that would not fit on because this starter is longer. I didn’t take the risk of testing it out by starting it as I noticed the gear inside sits a bit different and there is a knob on the front of the housing as the original does not. I’m not taking any chances. I just returned it and ordered the actual Quicksilver Starter that’s a little more $$ but totally worth it to have a proper fit.

failed after 2 months of use
This starter has failed after less than one year in use. Used for 1 month last summer then, over the winter I had my boat winterized and upon summerizing it, the starter displayed a "flat" spot where it would not crank unless turned and tried again. It now doesn't turn over my engine. I'd like a refund or replacement. Do not recommend cheap knock offs for boat parts...

Good starters for the price
So I freaked out a bit when I pulled my old starter and it was a 9 tooth. But after alot of research I found out that this 11 tooth is a direct replacement. I use 2 of these on my boat. They have no problem starting a 7.4l big block. Great value for budget builds.
