Good To Know

Q: Is this relay a direct fit for my outboard? A: This relay is designed as a replacement for Johnson and Evinrude outboards that originally used parts 172869, 581528, or 15-288, but verify your engine's serial number for exact matching.

Q: What causes a glow plug relay to fail? A: Glow plug relays typically fail due to worn internal contacts from repeated cycling, or from moisture and corrosion over time, which this replacement relay is built to withstand.

Slight variation in finish or dimensions may occur between production runs, and fit can depend on serial number, so confirm compatibility before ordering.
