Replaced bendix on Starter on Mercury

[Ricky&Lisa]

I replaced the bendix on the starter and I misplaced the nut that goes on top of the starter. Could someone tell what size the nut is? It is a mercury 50 horsepower 1987. The local boat dealer was not very helpful.<br /><br />Thanks

Ricky&Lisa <br /><br />Why take a chance on someone guessing wrong?<br /><br />Take the starter to your local bolt & fastener company and have them match the new nut's threads to the end of the shaft. If a nylock nut came off, make sure you replace it in kind.<br /><br />Good luck,<br /><br />Gold Bear
