Sierra Power Tilt Fuse 50 Amp 18-6950, Replaces 982706 982058, for Prestolite EVD 4001/4002

The Sierra Power Tilt Fuse, part number 18-6950, is a 50 amp fuse designed to protect the power tilt circuit on applicable outboard and stern drive systems. It is built for use with Prestolite EVD 4001 and EVD 4002 tilt motor applications, covering all models except 2.5L and 3.0L, 1978-85. The fuse uses a lead fuse element housed in a clear body with a through-hole mounting design, making it a straightforward drop-in replacement for a failed or blown power tilt fuse. Because the tilt/trim circuit draws high current when actuating the tilt motor, a properly rated fuse like this one is essential to protect the wiring and motor from damage in the event of an electrical fault or overload. This fuse is a direct cross-reference for OEM numbers 982706 and 982058, so it restores factory-level protection without modification to the existing wiring harness. Its compact 0.39 x 0.39 x 0.39 inch profile fits the standard power tilt fuse holder used on the covered applications. Keeping a correctly rated spare on hand is a simple way to avoid downtime if the original fuse fails while on the water.
