Sierra Trigger 18-99408 for Mercury/Mariner 4 Cylinder Outboards 1988-1997, Replaces 99021A2, 99021A6, 99021K2
The Sierra Trigger 18-99408 is an ignition trigger built to restore reliable spark timing on Mercury and Mariner 4 cylinder outboard engines. The trigger is a core ignition component that signals the engine's control module to fire the spark at the correct point in the crankshaft rotation, and a worn or failing trigger commonly causes hard starting, misfiring, rough idle, or a no-spark condition. Replacing the trigger with the Sierra 18-99408 restores the factory ignition signal path without needing to source a used or salvage part.
This trigger is designed to fit Mercury/Mariner 4 cylinder engines built between 1988 and 1997, covering the 80 JET, 100, 115, and 125 HP models. It is a direct cross to the OEM Mercury numbers 99021A2, 99021A6, and 99021K2, so it installs in place of the original trigger using the factory mounting points and wiring connections.
