Sierra Ignition Coil 18-99174, Replaces 615475, for Chrysler Force Sears Gamefisher Outboards 2/3/4/5 Cyl
The Sierra 18-99174 is a replacement ignition coil built for Chrysler, Force, Sears, and Gamefisher outboard engines. It is designed to fit 2, 3, 4, and 5 cylinder powerheads, making it a common service part for older Chrysler/Force outboard lineups. The coil generates the high-voltage spark required to fire the spark plugs, and a weak or failing coil is a frequent cause of hard starting, misfiring, or a complete no-spark condition on these engines.
This coil uses a male connector and a clamp-on installation style, which matches the original mounting hardware on the covered engines. It is a direct fit replacement for the outboard applications listed below, and it cross-references to several Chrysler and Force factory part numbers, so it can be used to replace a worn or failed OEM coil without modification.
Because ignition coils are wear items that degrade with heat and vibration over time, keeping a compatible replacement on hand helps avoid extended downtime when a coil fails. Always confirm the engine's horsepower, cylinder count, and model year against the fitment list before ordering to ensure correct application.
