Solenoids like this one act as the electrical switch that sends high-current power to the starter motor when the ignition key or start button is engaged, allowing a low-current signal to trigger a much larger current draw safely. When a solenoid fails, the starter may not engage at all, may click without turning over, or may run intermittently, so replacing it with a properly matched part is essential to restoring reliable starting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Sierra 18-5803 is built to match the fit, function, and electrical specifications of the original Force component it replaces, making installation straightforward for anyone replacing a worn or failed unit. It is sold as a standalone component, keeping the replacement focused and cost-effective compared to purchasing a full starter or ignition assembly.\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 18-5803\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Solenoid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication:\u003c\/strong\u003e Force outboard motors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.71 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 030999237293\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOEM Cross Reference:\u003c\/strong\u003e F177917\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for Force outboard motors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eReplaces (OEM)\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eF177917\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does the Sierra 18-5803 solenoid do?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Sierra 18-5803 is a solenoid that acts as an electrical switch, using a low-current signal from the ignition to route high-current power to the starter motor on a Force outboard motor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat OEM part number does the Sierra 18-5803 replace?\u003c\/strong\u003e Solenoid 18-5803 replaces OEM part number F177917.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the Sierra 18-5803 solenoid a genuine OEM part or aftermarket?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 18-5803 is a Sierra-branded aftermarket solenoid manufactured as a direct replacement for OEM part F177917, not an OEM-branded part.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the Sierra 18-5803 solenoid weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 18-5803 solenoid weighs 0.71 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat outboard motors is the 18-5803 solenoid designed for?\u003c\/strong\u003e This solenoid is designed for Force outboard motors, matching the original F177917 component it replaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are signs that this solenoid needs to be replaced?\u003c\/strong\u003e A failing solenoid on a Force outboard commonly causes the starter to not engage, a single click with no cranking, or intermittent starting, all of which point to replacing the unit with a matched part like the Sierra 18-5803.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the Sierra 18-5803 include mounting hardware or wiring?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 18-5803 is sold as the solenoid component itself, matched to the fit and function of OEM part F177917.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I look up the Sierra 18-5803 solenoid by its UPC?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the Sierra 18-5803 solenoid carries UPC 030999237293.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the Sierra 18-5803 a direct swap for the original Force solenoid?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the 18-5803 is built as a direct replacement for OEM number F177917, so it installs in place of the original Force solenoid.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the difference between the Sierra 18-5803 and other Sierra Force solenoids like 18-5835?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 18-5803 replaces OEM number F177917, while a related Sierra part such as 18-5835 replaces different OEM numbers and is specified for early model 35-150 HP Force motors; buyers should match their original OEM number to select the correct solenoid.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sierra","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48988323315931,"sku":"SIE-18-5803","price":36.35,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/18-5803__18527.1731422166.500.750.jpg?v=1785329183","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/marine-solenoid-for-force-outboards-replaces-oem-f177917-sierra-18-5803","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
