Fitment and Purchase Checks
Mercury and Mariner 40, 50, 60HP four-strokes, 2001 and up. EFI, Command Thrust, SeaPro too, out to about 2018 or 2020. This is the long 9-tooth starter. The 50-822462 family looks close but runs 10 teeth on a wider gear. That one belongs to the 30 to 60HP two-strokes and the three-cylinder four-strokes. Count your old pinion teeth first. They do not swap.
Why This Unit
Slow crank, then a click. That is the usual story. Brushes wear, magnets lose grip, the starter pulls more current than the battery has. Permanent magnet direct drive here. No field coil to fail, fewer parts to go wrong. Nine teeth, counter-clockwise, 29.4mm gear. Flywheel mesh stays right.
