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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart Number: \u003cstrong\u003e29227\u003c\/strong\u003e (OEM ref: 10-29227)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThread: #8-32\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLength: 0.50 in.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: Screw\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKnown Applications: Remote controls and components (MerCruiser and outboard, 1985 and below); trim\/tilt\/lift systems and components (outboard, 1985 and below)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenuine OEM — not aftermarket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCommon Applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhen to Replace\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eReplace 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eConfirm 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eRelated Products\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/fasteners-mounting\"\u003eFasteners \u0026amp; Mounting Hardware\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/gaskets-seals-o-rings\"\u003eMarine Gaskets, Seals \u0026amp; O-Rings\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eParts Desk Insights\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBest 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MERC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43563842273316,"sku":"29227","price":5.09,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0743\/5799\/7604\/files\/2c2451f3-b881-4833-9b3b-8ba23f4e9f95.png?v=1786563621","url":"https:\/\/marisolmarine.com\/products\/merc-102","provider":"Marisol Marine Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
