Sierra 18-5608 Outboard Starter, 12 Volt, Replaces 50-893893/50-44414/50-44415/13310T

The Sierra 18-5608 is a 12 volt outboard starter built to crank marine engines reliably in the harsh conditions boats operate in every day. It is a universal-fit starter, engineered as a direct replacement for the original equipment starter it supersedes, and is constructed of metal for durability in a marine environment. Sierra designs this starter to meet or exceed the performance of the original equipment part it replaces, and Sierra supplies OEM engine manufacturers and boat builders with parts on a daily basis, so this unit is built to the same standard used in factory production.

This starter is rated at 1.4 kW output and 12 volts, matching the electrical demands of the outboard engines it is designed to service. It measures 5 x 5 x 13 inches and weighs 8.95 pounds, giving installers a clear reference for mounting clearance and shipping weight before ordering. Whether you are replacing a worn-out starter that is cranking slowly or failing to engage, or doing preventive maintenance on an older outboard, the 18-5608 is sized as a one-for-one replacement using the OEM cross-reference numbers below.
