Mercury MerCruiser Shifter Yoke 806552
The Mercury MerCruiser 806552 is a genuine OEM sterndrive shifter yoke used inside select Bravo-family drive shift assemblies. The yoke works with the shift cam and cone-clutch mechanism to transfer shift movement and provide positive forward, neutral, and reverse engagement.
Compatible Applications
- Bravo One
- Bravo Two
- Bravo Three
- Bravo X / XR / XZ
- Bravo XR Sportmaster
- Blackhawk 1994–1995
- Selected Mercury Racing applications using Bravo-family shift components
Shift components changed during Bravo production. On applicable Bravo One drives, Mercury diagrams identify 806552 / 806552A1 for serial 0K091000 and up; earlier drives may require upgrade components rather than this individual yoke. Always confirm your drive serial number before ordering.

Installation Notes
806552 installs within the upper drive universal-joint and shift-component assembly. Applicable diagrams pair it with two screws (805733), two spacers (12706), and two retaining nuts. Keep updated shift components matched to the correct production configuration.

Technical FAQ
Do I need the individual yoke or the full assembly? If your drive's shift cam or clutch mechanism is also worn, the complete 806552A1 yoke and cam assembly may be the better option; 806552 covers the yoke alone.
How do I know if my drive needs the updated shift components? If you are servicing a Bravo One drive built before serial 0K091000, check whether it needs the upgraded shift assembly rather than the individual yoke.
Parts Desk Insights
Best use case: This yoke is the right part when a Bravo-family sterndrive shows worn or damaged shift-yoke contact surfaces, causing sloppy or inconsistent gear engagement.
Common mistake: The most common mistake is ordering by drive family alone without checking the serial number. Bravo shift components changed during production, so an older drive may need the complete upgrade assembly instead of this individual yoke.
Sizing and fitment: If you are replacing the yoke, inspect the paired screws (805733) and spacers (12706) at the same time, since they're part of the same mounting hardware set.
