It features a durable plastic housing and includes the O-ring needed for installation, so the unit is ready to mount without sourcing a separate seal. This motor drives the hydraulic pump that raises and lowers the outboard, restoring smooth, reliable tilt\/trim operation when the original motor has failed, stalled, or become noisy. The plastic housing constructed for this motor is designed to resist the corrosion and moisture exposure typical of a marine environment while keeping the unit lightweight. As a Sierra part, the 18-6281 is manufactured to match OEM fit, form, and function for the OMC cross-reference numbers it replaces, making it a straightforward swap for boat owners and marine technicians replacing a worn or seized trim motor. All Sierra parts are backed by Sierra's standard customer satisfaction warranty. Whether you are restoring full trim range on an outboard or replacing a motor that no longer responds, the 18-6281 is built to bolt in using the original electrical connections and mounting points associated with the OEM units it replaces.\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 18-6281\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tilt\/Trim Motor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVoltage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12 Volts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Plastic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHousing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Plastic housing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded Hardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e O-ring included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.6 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eReplaces (OEM)\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e438786\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e439937\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5005254\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does the Sierra 18-6281 tilt\/trim motor replace?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Sierra 18-6281 is a direct replacement for OMC tilt\/trim motors carrying part numbers 438786, 439937, and 5005254.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs an O-ring included with this trim motor?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the O-ring needed for installation is included with the Sierra 18-6281 tilt\/trim motor, so no separate seal purchase is necessary.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat voltage does the 18-6281 trim motor run on?\u003c\/strong\u003e This tilt\/trim motor operates on 12 volts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the housing made of?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Sierra 18-6281 has a plastic housing designed to hold up in a marine environment while keeping the unit lightweight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the Sierra 18-6281 weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Sierra 18-6281 tilt\/trim motor weighs 3.6 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the Sierra 18-6281 a genuine OEM part or an aftermarket replacement?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 18-6281 is a Sierra-manufactured aftermarket replacement engineered to match the fit, form, and function of the OMC 438786, 439937, and 5005254 motors it replaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the 18-6281 come with a warranty?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the Sierra 18-6281 tilt\/trim motor is covered under Sierra's standard customer satisfaction warranty, like all Sierra parts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat symptoms indicate the tilt\/trim motor needs replacement?\u003c\/strong\u003e A trim motor that fails to run, runs slowly, or no longer raises or lowers the outboard typically needs replacement with a unit like the Sierra 18-6281.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is included in the box with the 18-6281?\u003c\/strong\u003e The package includes the Sierra 18-6281 tilt\/trim motor and the O-ring required for installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I cross-reference this motor using my old OMC part number?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, if your old tilt\/trim motor is stamped 438786, 439937, or 5005254, the Sierra 18-6281 is the correct direct replacement.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sierra","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48988356182235,"sku":"SIE-18-6281","price":197.67,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/SIE-18-6281_lg__51562.1558130480.500.750.jpg?v=1785189056","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/tilt-trim-motor-for-omc-outboards-75-250hp-efi-1998-up-replaces-omc-438786-12v-plastic-housing-sierra-18-6281","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
