Fitment
Match this pin to your Mercury parts diagram using your engine model, serial number, and assembly location. Similar pins across Mercury product lines can vary by diameter and length — always confirm the part number before ordering.
When to Replace
Replace when the pin shows signs of corrosion, bending, wear, or when it is removed during a service procedure and shows any deformation at contact points.
Installation
Clean the bore and mating surfaces before installation. Follow the Mercury service manual for correct orientation, retention method, and any locking compound or cotter pin requirements.
Parts Desk Insights
Best use case: This pin is most commonly needed during throttle linkage, shift linkage, and drive unit pivot service on MerCruiser stern drives and inboard engines. Pins in these locations are subject to wear from constant movement and marine corrosion — replacing them during any linkage or drive service is good preventive practice. Always order by the diagram part number to ensure correct diameter and length for your specific assembly.
