It is designed as a direct replacement, meeting or exceeding the performance of the original equipment starter it takes the place of. The housing and internal components are metal construction for durability in the marine environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis starter is a straightforward swap for boat owners and marine technicians replacing a worn, weak, or failed starter motor on a compatible Mercury\/Mariner outboard. Because it is sold under the Sierra 18-5601 part number, it can be ordered and cross-checked against the original Mercury part numbers it replaces, making it easy to confirm fitment before installing.\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 18-5601\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Outboard Starter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVoltage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12 Volts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Metal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5.82 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10 x 6 x 6 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFits:\u003c\/strong\u003e 35-50 HP models\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eMercury\/Mariner outboard, 35-50 HP models\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eReplaces (OEM)\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e50-55601\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e50-55601A2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e50-38890A1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does the Sierra 18-5601 starter fit?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Sierra 18-5601 fits Mercury\/Mariner outboard motors in the 35-50 HP range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat Mercury part numbers does the 18-5601 replace?\u003c\/strong\u003e It replaces Mercury part numbers 50-55601, 50-55601A2, and 50-38890A1.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the Sierra 18-5601 a genuine Mercury starter or an aftermarket part?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is an aftermarket replacement made by Sierra, engineered to meet or exceed the performance of the original Mercury starter it replaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat voltage is the 18-5601 starter?\u003c\/strong\u003e This is a 12 volt starter motor, the standard voltage for the Mercury\/Mariner 35-50 HP outboards it fits.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the Sierra 18-5601 weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Sierra 18-5601 outboard starter weighs 5.82 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the dimensions of the 18-5601 starter?\u003c\/strong\u003e The unit measures 10 x 6 x 6 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat material is the Sierra 18-5601 starter made of?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 18-5601 is made of metal construction, suited to the marine environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill the 18-5601 work on any Mercury outboard?\u003c\/strong\u003e No, the Sierra 18-5601 is designed specifically for Mercury\/Mariner outboards in the 35-50 HP range; other HP ranges use a different Sierra starter part number.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I confirm the 18-5601 is the correct replacement for my old starter?\u003c\/strong\u003e Check your existing starter or engine documentation for one of the OEM numbers 50-55601, 50-55601A2, or 50-38890A1; if it matches, the Sierra 18-5601 is the correct replacement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is included when I order the 18-5601?\u003c\/strong\u003e The order includes one Sierra 18-5601 outboard starter motor.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sierra","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48988218523867,"sku":"SIE-18-5601","price":197.88,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/18-5601__83260.1722489635.500.750.jpg?v=1785189010","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/outboard-starter-for-mercury-mariner-35-50-hp-replaces-50-55601a2-sierra-18-5601","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
