Rated at 16 amps, this stator supplies the charging current needed to keep the engine's electrical system and battery properly powered during operation, an important consideration for racing and high-demand outboard applications where a dependable charging source is critical. The stator mounts within the outboard's flywheel area and works in conjunction with the engine's ignition and charging circuit to generate AC current, which is then rectified to charge the battery and run onboard electronics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBuilt to withstand the heat and vibration found inside a running outboard powerhead, this stator is designed as a direct fit for the 6 cylinder Mercury Mariner engines it is intended for. Replacing a worn, weak, or failed stator with part number 18-99285 restores consistent charging output and helps prevent battery drain or no-charge conditions on the water.\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 18-99285\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Racing Stator\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mercury Mariner 6 Cylinder Outboard Engines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAmperage Output:\u003c\/strong\u003e 16 Amp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 808282395841\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.2 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat engines does the Sierra 18-99285 stator fit?\u003c\/strong\u003e Part number 18-99285 is built for Mercury Mariner 6 cylinder outboard engines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow many amps does this stator put out?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 18-99285 racing stator is rated at 16 amps of charging output.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs 18-99285 an OEM or aftermarket part number?\u003c\/strong\u003e 18-99285 is the Sierra manufacturer part number for this racing stator; it is not an OEM Mercury number.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the stator weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Sierra 18-99285 stator weighs 3.2 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does a stator do on an outboard engine?\u003c\/strong\u003e On a Mercury Mariner 6 cylinder outboard, the stator generates AC current as the flywheel spins, which is rectified to charge the battery and power onboard electronics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy would I need to replace my outboard's stator?\u003c\/strong\u003e A failing stator can cause weak or no charging output, leading to a drained battery; installing the 18-99285 racing stator restores the engine's charging performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this stator designed for racing use?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the 18-99285 is designated as a racing stator, built for the higher charging demands of performance Mercury Mariner 6 cylinder applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the UPC for this part?\u003c\/strong\u003e The UPC for the Sierra 18-99285 stator is 808282395841.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes this stator include mounting hardware?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 18-99285 listing covers the stator itself; check your engine's service manual for the mounting hardware and connector specifics needed for installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan this stator be used on 4 cylinder Mercury outboards?\u003c\/strong\u003e No, the 18-99285 is built specifically for Mercury Mariner 6 cylinder outboard engines.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sierra","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48988441018587,"sku":"SIE-18-99285","price":467.52,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/CDI-274-5456-S15_lg__41848.1722498509.500.750.jpg?v=1785329180","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/sierra-18-99285-racing-stator-for-mercury-mariner-6-cylinder-outboards-16-amp","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
