{"product_id":"sierra-18-99318-converter-stator-for-force-5-cylinder-outboards","title":"Sierra Stator Converter 18-99318, 5-Cylinder, for Chrysler, Force, Sears and Gamefisher Outboards","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Sierra 18-99318 is a stator converter built for 5-cylinder outboard powerheads, replacing the ignition charging component that supplies AC current to the engine's rectifier and charging system. As the stator ages or its windings degrade, engines can experience weak spark, charging failures, or a no-start condition, so this converter restores reliable power delivery for engines that rely on this configuration. It is designed for 5-cylinder outboards sold under the Chrysler, Force, Sears, and Gamefisher brands, reflecting how these outboard lines shared common powerhead architecture and electrical components. The stator converter is a single-unit replacement, making it a straightforward swap for technicians and boat owners replacing a failed or worn charging component. It ships as one item ready for installation into the compatible 5-cylinder powerhead. Because ignition and charging components directly affect engine starting and running reliability, this stator converter is a maintenance item worth keeping in reserve when servicing older Chrysler, Force, Sears, or Gamefisher outboards with 5-cylinder engines.\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 18-99318\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible Brands:\u003c\/strong\u003e Chrysler, Force, Sears, Gamefisher\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCylinder Count:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Items:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.3 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 808282395902\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e5-cylinder outboards sold under the Chrysler, Force, Sears, and Gamefisher brand names\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does the Sierra 18-99318 stator converter do?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Sierra 18-99318 is a stator converter that supplies AC current to the charging and ignition system of a 5-cylinder outboard powerhead, and replacing it restores reliable charging and starting when the original component fails or wears out.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhich outboards fit the 18-99318 stator converter?\u003c\/strong\u003e This stator converter is built for 5-cylinder outboards sold under the Chrysler, Force, Sears, and Gamefisher brand names, since these lines shared common powerhead and electrical architecture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow many cylinders does this stator converter support?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Sierra 18-99318 is designed specifically for 5-cylinder outboard powerheads and is not intended for other cylinder counts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the 18-99318 stator converter weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e It weighs 3.3 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow many units come in one order?\u003c\/strong\u003e One Sierra 18-99318 stator converter is included per order, ready to install as a single unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the Sierra 18-99318 a direct replacement for a failed stator?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, it is designed as a replacement charging component for the compatible 5-cylinder Chrysler, Force, Sears, and Gamefisher outboards, installed in place of the original stator converter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the signs that this stator converter needs to be replaced?\u003c\/strong\u003e Weak spark, charging system failures, or a no-start condition on a compatible 5-cylinder outboard often point to a failing stator converter, which the 18-99318 is designed to replace.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the 18-99318 include mounting hardware?\u003c\/strong\u003e The listing covers the stator converter unit itself as a single item; no additional components are specified.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan the same part number be used across Chrysler, Force, Sears, and Gamefisher outboards?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the Sierra 18-99318 is designed to fit 5-cylinder outboards across the Chrysler, Force, Sears, and Gamefisher brand names, which shared common powerhead components.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the Sierra 18-99318 an OEM or aftermarket part?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 18-99318 is a Sierra-branded replacement stator converter for 5-cylinder Chrysler, Force, Sears, and Gamefisher outboards.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sierra","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48988441870555,"sku":"SIE-18-99318","price":390.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/CDI-176-4796K1_lg__17412.1722492489.500.750.jpg?v=1785188083","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/sierra-18-99318-converter-stator-for-force-5-cylinder-outboards","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
