Any time I need a new part I always start with the FACTORY parts book available here

http://www.mercruiserparts.com/mercruiser_parts.asp

Have your model and serial #'s handy and follow the links 'Search with Pictures'

Often times your Merc will not be found in the Merc only pages but in the Merc/Mariner pages when that particular model was common to both brands.

Once you have the factory part # and see if it is still available from the dealer, then you can use that part # with many of the aftermarket cross-reference catalogs to expand your search to look for a better price on the item.

The floats are NLA at Mercury. One aftermarket outfit lists them, but has never made them. Best bet is use carbs (Any WH will do) or a salvage outfit.

hope it helps.
