The condenser is a core component of the points-type ignition system, working alongside the coil and points to suppress arcing at the breaker points and help the engine fire cleanly and consistently. This part is built to meet or exceed original equipment quality, making it a reliable choice when servicing or rebuilding an aging ignition system on compatible Chrysler\/Force outboards.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe condenser features an aluminum body and connects via a barb-style outlet connection. It is a compact, precision component measuring 0.39 x 0.39 x 0.39 inches, sized to fit directly into the ignition housing without modification. Because ignition parts are fit specific, buyers should confirm their outboard's engine model or serial number range against the fitment listed below before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Sierra 18-5241 directly replaces the Chrysler F12181-1 and McCulloch 38850115 condensers, so it is a straightforward swap for outboards originally equipped with either of those OEM part numbers. It is intended for use on Chrysler\/Force outboard ignition systems, including magneto ignition (no alternator) and Magnapower ignition (with alternator and C-D unit) configurations across a range of 6, 7, and 8 horsepower models.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sierra\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18-5241\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Condenser\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCategory:\u003c\/strong\u003e Chrysler Outboard Ignition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aluminum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutlet Connection Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Barb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.39 x 0.39 x 0.39 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.03 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFit Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vehicle Specific Fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChrysler\/Force outboard, 6 HP - models 60HA, 62\/63HA-HH, H9M\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChrysler\/Force outboard, 6 HP - models 64HA-HC, H0F, H1G, H2H, H8D, H9E\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChrysler\/Force outboard, 7 HP - models 72\/73HA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChrysler\/Force outboard, 8 HP - models 82\/83HA-HH, H9K\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eReplaces (OEM)\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChrysler F12181-1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMcCulloch 38850115\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does the Sierra 18-5241 condenser fit?\u003c\/strong\u003e It fits Chrysler\/Force outboard motors rated 6, 7, and 8 horsepower, covering models 60HA, 62\/63HA-HH, H9M, 64HA-HC, H0F, H1G, H2H, H8D, H9E, 72\/73HA, 82\/83HA-HH, and H9K.
