Sierra 18-6951 Power Tilt Fuse 30 Amp, Replaces 851120, Volvo Penta Trim System
The Sierra 18-6951 is a 30 amp power tilt fuse for the trim and tilt circuit on Volvo Penta trim systems. It protects the tilt/trim pump and its wiring from current overloads, blowing before damage can reach the pump motor or harness. When a trim system stops responding, a blown power tilt fuse is one of the first and most common causes to check, and the 18-6951 is the direct replacement fuse for that circuit.
This fuse carries a 30 amp rating specific to the power tilt circuit and directly replaces the OEM 851120 fuse. Keeping a spare on board is inexpensive insurance against a dead trim system, since a blown fuse can otherwise leave the outdrive stuck in one position.
