The starter pawl is a small engaging part within the starter assembly that allows the starter to properly turn the engine over during cranking. Sierra manufactures this pawl to meet or exceed the quality of the original equipment part it replaces, making it a reliable choice when rebuilding or servicing a starter unit. Because starter pawls are wear items subject to repeated mechanical engagement, keeping spares on hand is common practice for anyone maintaining outboard starters, and the pack-of-three quantity supports a full pawl replacement in one purchase. This part directly replaces OEM number 203698, so it can be ordered using either the Sierra part number or the original OEM reference. The pawl is lightweight at 0.02 pounds, consistent with its role as a small internal starter component rather than a full assembly. Installation involves disassembling the starter to access the pawl mechanism, which is typically a task suited to anyone comfortable with basic outboard starter service or a qualified marine mechanic.\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 18-6512-9\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Starter Pawl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pack of 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOEM Cross Reference:\u003c\/strong\u003e 203698\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.02 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 808282166564\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eUniversal outboard starter replacement part; specific engine fitment is not listed for this part number.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eReplaces (OEM)\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e203698\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does the Sierra 18-6512-9 starter pawl replace?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is a direct replacement for OEM starter pawl number 203698, so it can be ordered using either the Sierra part number 18-6512-9 or the original 203698 reference.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow many pawls come in one pack?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 18-6512-9 is sold as a pack of three starter pawls, which is enough for a complete pawl replacement in one purchase.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the 18-6512-9 starter pawl weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e Each package of the Sierra 18-6512-9 starter pawl weighs 0.02 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this a genuine Sierra part or an aftermarket copy?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 18-6512-9 is manufactured by Sierra and is built to meet or exceed the quality of the original equipment starter pawl it replaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is a starter pawl used for?\u003c\/strong\u003e A starter pawl is a small engaging component inside the starter assembly that allows the starter motor to turn the engine over during cranking; the 18-6512-9 is Sierra's replacement version of this part.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I use the OEM number 203698 to find this part?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, OEM number 203698 cross-references directly to the Sierra 18-6512-9 starter pawl.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat material is the 18-6512-9 starter pawl made of?\u003c\/strong\u003e Material composition is not specified for the Sierra 18-6512-9 starter pawl.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the 18-6512-9 fit any outboard motor?\u003c\/strong\u003e Specific engine make, model, and year fitment are not listed for the Sierra 18-6512-9 starter pawl; it should be matched to a starter that uses OEM part 203698.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow is the starter pawl installed?\u003c\/strong\u003e Installing the 18-6512-9 requires disassembling the starter to access the pawl mechanism, a task suited to someone familiar with outboard starter service.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy buy the pawl in a pack of three instead of individually?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Sierra 18-6512-9 is sold as a pack of three because starter pawls are wear items, and having spares on hand supports a complete replacement without needing to reorder mid-job.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sierra","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48988357820635,"sku":"SIE-18-6512-9","price":9.37,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/18-6512-9__73619.1729837015.500.750.jpg?v=1785188943","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/starter-pawl-for-evinrude-johnson-outboards-replaces-oem-203698-pack-of-3","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
