I’m not sure if this is OEM because it came with my used boat in 2014, and my WaveRunner came without the valve part but the handle on it has been breaking for a couple of years. Over the weekend it finally broke completely, fortunately after I was done flushing both engines. Since I like having two, I decided to design and 3D print a replacement lever/handle thingy. Surprisingly it was a perfect fit the first time and I designed it to be stronger than the original. I’ve printed it in PLA because that’s what I had loaded, but I will reprint in either ASA or PETG. Someday I will try nylon.
