Quicksilver Screw 29227 (#8-32 x 0.50)
This genuine OEM screw is a #8-32 thread, 0.50 in. long fastener used in Mercury and MerCruiser remote control assemblies, outboard remote control components, and trim/tilt system hardware on 1985 and earlier models. In control and tilt system applications, using the correct screw — right thread pitch, length, and material — matters for maintaining secure, rattle-free connections in assemblies that see constant vibration and marine exposure.

Common Applications
Use this screw wherever the Mercury or MerCruiser parts diagram specifies part number 29227. It is documented in remote control component groups and trim/tilt system assemblies for 1985 and earlier models — always verify against your engine or drive’s current parts diagram and serial number before ordering.
When to Replace
Replace any time the screw shows signs of corrosion, thread damage, rounding, or deformation, or whenever it is removed from a critical fastened joint during service. In control and tilt system assemblies, compromised fasteners can affect function and safety.
Installation Notes
Confirm thread pitch (#8-32) and length (0.50 in.) against the parts diagram before installation. Follow the Mercury service manual for the correct torque specification and any locking compound requirements for the assembly you’re working on.

Parts Desk Insights
Best used as a direct OEM replacement in remote control or trim/tilt system service on 1985 and earlier Mercury and MerCruiser applications where the parts diagram calls for 29227. Thread pitch and length are critical in control system hardware — a screw that’s even slightly longer or shorter can interfere with adjacent components or fail to clamp properly. Always order by part number from the diagram rather than substituting by appearance. If your engine or control assembly has been updated, cross-reference the current diagram to confirm this number hasn’t been superseded.
