It is a low-cost consumable that should be replaced as a matter of course any time the assembly is opened — skipping it is rarely worth the labor cost of a return visit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMost common mistake:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ordering by appearance rather than part number. Similar-looking sealing washers appear in many different Mercury assemblies and are not interchangeable. Always verify the part number against your model's diagram before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFitment guidance:\u003c\/strong\u003e If you are unsure whether 8M0214950 is the correct washer for your assembly, cross-reference the part number in the Mercury parts diagram for your specific model and serial number. If the diagram shows 815472, this current part (8M0214950) is the direct replacement.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MERC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51324694659108,"sku":"8M0214950","price":4.79,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0743\/5799\/7604\/files\/f1dfab8d-1372-4c12-9716-07b75b0f322c.png?v=1788560208","url":"https:\/\/marisolmarine.com\/products\/merc-1009","provider":"Marisol Marine Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
