Sierra

<h3>Sierra: Six Decades of Marine Aftermarket Excellence</h3><p><strong>Sierra</strong> has spent nearly 60 years earning its reputation as one of the most trusted names in the marine aftermarket industry. Originally focused on engine and drive components for boats, the brand has grown into a comprehensive source for nearly everything a boater needs to keep their vessel running at its best — from precision instrumentation to complete engine rebuild hardware.</p><p>Now operating as a brand of Dometic, Sierra manages global aftermarket distribution from a 300,000 sq. ft. facility in Litchfield, Illinois. The Sierra brand today encompasses not only its flagship marine parts line but also well-established marine names like Shields and Moeller, offering boaters a broader catalog than ever before. Whether you own an outboard, inboard, or sterndrive, Sierra's engineering team designs products to meet or exceed OEM specifications.</p><h3>Precision Instrumentation You Can Trust on the Water</h3><p>One of Sierra's most recognized product areas is its marine instrumentation lineup. The brand's <a href="/7570-sierra-gauge-set-1480">gauge sets</a> cover everything from classic analog instrument clusters to advanced digital multi-function displays. Sierra offers packages suited to outboards, sterndrives, and gasoline-powered inboards, with options ranging from coordinated analog kits in styles like Arctic, Eclipse, and Amega to modern touchscreen solutions like the R3 multi-function gauge. Features such as scratch-resistant domed glass lenses, silicone-dampened pointers, and perimeter backlighting make these instruments highly readable in all conditions.</p><p>Behind every accurate gauge reading is a properly calibrated sending circuit. Sierra's <a href="/7570-sierra-gauge-resistor-47908">gauge resistors</a> are a critical part of that chain, ensuring the signals from sensors and sending units are correctly interpreted by your instruments. These components are built to marine-grade standards to resist moisture, vibration, and corrosion — the realities of life on the water.</p><h3>Engine Internals Built to OEM Standards</h3><p>Sierra's history in marine power is perhaps best demonstrated by its deep catalog of engine components. The brand's <a href="/7570-sierra-engine-gasket-set-5404">engine gasket sets</a> cover a wide range of outboard and inboard applications and are engineered to deliver reliable seals in the demanding thermal and chemical environment of a marine engine. For boaters performing seasonal overhauls, top-end rebuilds, or full engine restorations, Sierra gasket kits are a go-to resource trusted by professional marine technicians and DIY boaters alike.</p><h3>A Complete Marine Parts Partner</h3><p>Beyond instrumentation and engine internals, Sierra's catalog spans fuel systems, electrical supplies, steering components, shore power, and more — all covered by what the brand calls an industry-leading warranty. Sierra also maintains a comprehensive parts-finder tool that enables cross-referencing with OEM part numbers from major manufacturers including Mercury, Yamaha, Suzuki, Volvo Penta, and others, making it straightforward to find the right replacement part for virtually any application.</p>

Key Features:

  • Direct replacement for Mercury part numbers 18495A22 and 18495A32
  • Interchangeable with CDI part number 114-4953-32
  • Engineered to meet or exceed OEM specifications
  • Features integrated bias circuitry for 6-cylinder applications
  • Professional-grade construction for harsh marine environments
  • Designed for installation by professional marine mechanics

Important Installation Note: On 6-cylinder applications, it is recommended that both switchboxes be replaced as a set to ensure proper operation and prevent damage to the mating switchbox. The bias circuit resistance should read between 13-15K Ω for proper operation.

Easy check out and great prices

Good

Easy transaction!

So the low stars because, I received the products in two different boxes, which there didn't seem to be any reason as they would have fit in one. The order didn't indicate that there were two different boxes and they showed up days apart. I then contacted you via customer support being worried and no one reached out.

great price
