Sierra Ignition Coil 18-5196, Replaces OMC 502880 and 581407, Bolt-On Fit for PWC Engines

The Sierra 18-5196 is a direct bolt-on ignition coil built for marine personal watercraft engines. It delivers the spark voltage needed to fire the engine's ignition system and is designed as a vehicle-specific fit replacement, meaning it is engineered to install in place of the original coil without modification. The coil uses a female connector for a secure, correctly oriented electrical connection during installation.

This ignition coil is a straightforward drop-in replacement for a worn, cracked, or failed OEM coil, restoring reliable spark delivery for consistent starting and running performance. It is sold as a single unit (Ignition Coil) and is intended for PWC applications. Because it is a bolt-on part, installation follows the same mounting pattern and wiring connection as the original equipment coil it replaces, without requiring bracket or harness modifications.
