Constructed with a metal housing, it is designed to meet or exceed the performance of the original equipment starter it replaces. The white finish matches the factory color scheme used on the applicable Mercury outboards, so it installs without an odd-looking mismatch under the cowling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis starter carries a compact footprint of 9.75 x 4.5 x 6 inches and weighs 6.33 pounds, making it a manageable, bolt-in swap for anyone replacing a worn or failed starter motor rather than rebuilding one. It cross-references directly to Mercury OEM part numbers 50-898265005 and 50-73521, so it is a straightforward match for boaters looking for a factory-equivalent replacement rather than a generic universal-fit substitute.\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 18-5605\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 (DC)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Metal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e White\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6.33 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem Dimensions (L x W x H):\u003c\/strong\u003e 9.75 x 4.5 x 6 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSerial Number Range:\u003c\/strong\u003e G159200 to G589999\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 747730043937\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOEM Cross-Reference:\u003c\/strong\u003e 50-898265005, 50-73521\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eMercury 30 Jet, 3-cylinder outboard, serial number range G159200 to G589999\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eReplaces (OEM)\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e50-898265005\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e50-73521\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does the Sierra 18-5605 fit?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Sierra 18-5605 fits Mercury 30 Jet 3-cylinder outboard engines within the serial number range G159200 to G589999.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat OEM part numbers does the 18-5605 starter replace?\u003c\/strong\u003e It replaces Mercury OEM part numbers 50-898265005 and 50-73521, making the 18-5605 a direct cross-reference for those factory starters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the 18-5605 a 12-volt starter?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the Sierra 18-5605 is a 12-volt DC outboard starter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the 18-5605 starter weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Sierra 18-5605 weighs 6.33 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the dimensions of the 18-5605 starter?\u003c\/strong\u003e It measures 9.75 x 4.5 x 6 inches (length x width x height).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat material is the Sierra 18-5605 starter made from?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 18-5605 is constructed with a metal housing for durability in a marine environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat color is the 18-5605 starter?\u003c\/strong\u003e It has a white finish, matching the factory color used on the applicable Mercury outboards.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the Sierra 18-5605 a genuine Mercury part or aftermarket?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 18-5605 is a Sierra-branded aftermarket starter engineered to meet or exceed the performance of the original Mercury 50-898265005 and 50-73521 starters it replaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill the 18-5605 fit any Mercury outboard, or only specific serial numbers?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 18-5605 is designated for Mercury 30 Jet 3-cylinder outboards within the G159200 to G589999 serial number range, not a universal fit across all Mercury outboards.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is included when I order the 18-5605?\u003c\/strong\u003e Ordering the Sierra 18-5605 gets you one complete outboard starter motor, ready to install as a direct replacement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the UPC 747730043937 correspond to the Sierra 18-5605?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, UPC 747730043937 is the identifier for the Sierra 18-5605 outboard starter.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sierra","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48988218556635,"sku":"SIE-18-5605","price":210.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/18-5605__61987.1722384938.500.750.jpg?v=1785188118","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/sierra-18-5605-outboard-starter-for-mercury-mariner-40-50-hp-4-cyl-replaces-50-73521","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
