About This Part
Genuine Mercury / Quicksilver 11-24652 is an OEM 1/4”-28 fine-thread hex nut used across a wide range of legacy Mercury and MerCruiser assemblies. Mercury parts references show it in powerhead-to-driveshaft-housing stud hardware, carburetor mounting studs, tilt-stop lever hardware, co-pilot disc fastening, and selected output-housing / retainer-stud assemblies across numerous outboard and MerCruiser engine families. Because 24652 is a shared hardware number, the required quantity and mating hardware vary significantly by application — confirm both from the parts diagram for the specific engine or assembly being serviced.
Compatible Applications
- Mercury outboard powerhead-to-driveshaft-housing stud assemblies — varies by model (1–6 nuts depending on engine)
- Mercury outboard carburetor mounting studs — typically 2 per carburetor assembly
- Mercury tilt-stop lever retaining and anchor hardware — typically 1 per assembly
- Mercury co-pilot disc fastening assemblies — typically 3 per assembly
- Selected MerCruiser output-housing / retainer-stud assemblies — typically 6 per assembly
- Numerous legacy Mercury outboards from small single-cylinder models through larger inline multi-cylinder engines
Confirm the required quantity and exact diagram position by engine model and serial number. Diagram quantities range from 1 to 6 depending on the specific assembly — do not assume 5 nuts are required per application.
When to Replace
Replace this nut if it shows any of the following:
- Stripped or damaged thread engagement on the mating stud
- Rounded hex flats from incorrect tool use
- Severe corrosion affecting thread integrity
- Distortion from overtightening
- Poor thread engagement during reassembly
- Lost during engine or drive disassembly
Installation Notes
Confirm the nut’s exact diagram position and required quantity before installation. Inspect the mating stud threads and any associated washers or gasket hardware before reassembly. For powerhead-to-driveshaft-housing applications, 24652 is used alongside the adapter-plate-to-driveshaft-housing gasket 39050 and related mounting hardware — confirm all mating components from the diagram. Torque to the Mercury service manual specification for the exact assembly; do not apply a generic value based on thread size alone, as torque values differ between powerhead, carburetor, and housing applications.

Parts Desk Insight
24652 is a shared 1/4”-28 Mercury hex nut used across powerhead, carburetor, tilt-stop, and housing assemblies — not a single-location fastener. The most common issue is ordering the wrong quantity: diagram requirements range from 1 to 6 nuts depending on the assembly, and the pack of 5 is a convenient sales quantity rather than a per-engine specification. Buying a small quantity to keep on hand is sensible for general Mercury service, as this nut appears across many legacy outboard and MerCruiser assemblies and is frequently lost or corroded during disassembly. Always confirm the required quantity and torque specification from the parts diagram for the specific assembly being serviced.
