Engine Compatibility
The MerCruiser 898 stern-drive catalog, 1978–1982, serials 4898730–6225576, identifies this spring for V8-engine steering connections. Match the installed steering link and drive/transom assembly before ordering.
Replacement and Installation
Replace a missing, damaged or distorted spring and inspect the link-rod screw, washers and retaining hardware. Steering hardware must be assembled and secured in the order specified by the service manual, followed by a full steering movement check.
Parts Desk Insight
A shared gimbal-ring drawing can contain both inline- and V8-engine hardware. The V8 note beside spring 24-87739 matters as much as the diagram heading.
