• Inspect and replace any gaskets, O-rings, or seals associated with the plate at the same time

Technical FAQ

How do I confirm this is the right plate for my engine?
Locate your engine model number and serial number on the engine data plate, then find part number 8M0075813 in the current Mercury parts diagram for your model. If the number appears in your diagram at the assembly location you are servicing, this is the correct plate.

Can I reuse the old plate if it looks undamaged?
In many cases yes, if the plate is flat, undamaged, and free of corrosion. However, always check the Mercury service manual for your specific assembly — some plates have reuse restrictions or must be replaced whenever disturbed.

What if I can't find this part number in my diagram?
If 8M0075813 does not appear in the diagram for your model and serial number, this may not be the correct plate for your application. Check whether your engine's parts diagram references a different or superseded part number, or contact us to help verify the correct part.

Parts Desk Insights

Best use case: Ordering by exact part number from the Mercury parts diagram during a planned service or repair. This is the correct approach for any Mercury hardware component — locate the part in the diagram first, confirm the number matches 8M0075813, then order. This plate is a diagram-verified replacement for the specific assembly position where it appears in your engine or drive.

Common mistakes:

• Ordering by appearance rather than part number — plates can look nearly identical across different applications but have different hole patterns, thickness, or material specifications. Always order by the part number shown in your diagram.
• Not confirming the serial number range — the same engine model can use different plates across production ranges. Verify the serial number before ordering.
• Skipping gasket or seal replacement — if the plate seals against another surface, replace any associated gasket or O-ring at the same time. Reusing old seals against a new plate is a common cause of leaks after reassembly.
• Incorrect torque on fasteners — over-tightening plate fasteners can warp the plate or damage the mating surface. Follow the service manual torque specification.
