This is a high-quality solenoid (electromagnetic switch) operating on a 12 V standard, designed with outboard motors in mind, including popular units from brands like JOHNSON and EVINRUDE. A key aspect of selecting this part is verifying compatibility. Since official source data does not provide a specific list of engine models, we recommend checking fitment based on the catalog number 118-5823 or the original OE (OEM) number. If you have any doubts about whether this part fits your vessel, contact our customer support – we are happy to help you select the correct component to avoid unnecessary returns and wasted time.

Installation and Operation

Replacing a solenoid is a task that is relatively straightforward with a bit of caution. Before starting work, be sure to disconnect the negative battery cable to prevent short circuits. Pay attention to the condition of contacts and wires – corrosion is often the cause of starting problems, not the solenoid itself. After installing the new SIERRA element, ensure all connections are tight and secure. Regular inspection of the electrical system condition will extend the lifespan of not only this component but the entire starting system of your boat.
