Sierra 223-4501 Plug Wire Set, Replaces 46596, for Westerbeke Generators

The Sierra 223-4501 is a plug wire set engineered for a defined range of Westerbeke marine generators. It provides the ignition wiring connection between the generator's ignition system and spark plugs, and is built as a direct replacement for the original Westerbeke wiring it replaces. The set is finished in white and ships as a single complete unit (one set per package), so there is no need to source or splice individual wires.

The 223-4501 is a direct cross-reference for OEM part number 46596, letting owners of compatible Westerbeke generators replace worn or cracked plug wiring with a correctly specified part rather than a generic substitute. It is sized for the generator's engine bay with item dimensions of 2.75 x 7.12 x 10.5 inches and a light overall weight of 0.39 pounds, and it is backed by Sierra's warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship.
