Looking for starter

[ChrisD]

I am looking for a Mercury starter #50-86976.<br /><br />Went to the Mercury web site and they said this number is no longer made.<br /><br />Does anyone have an alternate number for this starter.<br /><br />This is the only thing in my way of getting my boat in the water.<br /><br />Thank you

Re: Looking for starter

It's an 80's 225 V6.<br /><br />It might be a 1986, I will find the serial # if it is neccesary.

Chris,<br />I have a couple of starters from 1985 Mariners 175hp V6's. I have serial #'s on motors (S/N 06620135), but don't know part number. May be the same starter motors. email me at grandx@peoplepc.com if interested.

Chris,<br /><br />I did a search on google for that part #. This is what I came up with :<br /><br /> http://www.apimarine.com/catalog/page30.pdf <br /><br />It's a cross referrence chart that does have that # listed. At the bottom of the page are phone numbers and a web address.<br /><br />Good luck !

Re: Looking for starter

Check out dbelectrical.com. They specialize in hard to find stuff and the price is usually much better too. I got a starter from them after trying almost everywhere. Only cost $139 compared to the $275+ my dealer was asking when he could find one. <br /><br />Dutch

Re: Looking for starter

Here is another question the starter every now and then just spins and the gear won't engage. Its gotten to the point were I can't trust it any more. <br /><br />Is it worth replacing or is there something that can be fixed on it.

Re: Looking for starter

Brand new interstae battery still won't engage the starter. When it does engage it will sometimes drop down while tuning over motor.
