EMP Ignition Coil Kit 300-00730, Replaces 18-5176, Fits Evinrude 150-185 HP Outboards (6-Coil Set)

The EMP 300-00730 is a 6-coil ignition kit built as a direct replacement for the 18-5176 ignition coil used on select Evinrude outboard motors. Each kit ships with six coils, matching the coil quantity called for on the applicable Evinrude 150 HP, 155 HP, 175 HP, and 185 HP powerheads covered by the 18-5176 fitment. Ignition coils convert the low-voltage signal from the outboard's ignition system into the high-voltage spark needed to fire each cylinder; replacing a full set at once helps keep spark output consistent across all cylinders rather than mixing an aging coil with new ones. The 300-00730 kit is sold as a complete set of six so an owner or shop can service every cylinder position in a single job. It falls under EMP's Evinrude outboard ignition coil lineup and is cross-referenced to the 18-5176 part number for buyers matching an existing coil or working from a parts diagram. Confirm your outboard's horsepower rating and model year against the fitment listed below before ordering, since coil part numbers changed across different production years even within the same horsepower class.
