What Mercury Mount 8135461 Is Used For

Mercury Mount 8135461 is used as a replacement mount in compatible Mercury outboard applications. In the correct engine assembly, a Mercury mount supports positioning, movement control, alignment, or securement of related engine components.

Replace or order this Mercury mount when:

• The original Mercury mount is worn
• A mount is cracked, damaged, or missing
• The engine assembly shows excessive movement
• A service manual or parts diagram lists 8135461
• A repair requires replacement of related mounting hardware
• The part number on the existing component matches 8135461

Because mounts can look similar across different Mercury engines, part-number confirmation is important.

How to Confirm This Mercury Mount Fits

The best way to confirm Mercury Mount 8135461 fits your engine is to match the part number against your Mercury parts diagram, service manual, or engine serial-number range.

Before ordering, check:

• Your Mercury engine model
• Engine horsepower
• Existing mount part number
• Mercury parts diagram
• Assembly location
• Whether the part number has been superseded
• Whether related hardware, bushings, bolts, washers, or brackets are also needed

If your parts diagram lists Mercury 8135461, this PDP is the correct product-level target to review.

Why Exact Mercury Part Numbers Matter

Exact Mercury part numbers matter because many outboard components vary by engine family, horsepower, production range, and assembly location. A Mercury mount from one engine may not fit another engine, even if the parts look similar.

Matching the exact part number helps avoid:

• Incorrect fitment
• Installation delays
• Unnecessary returns
• Engine alignment issues
• Missing related hardware
• Ordering a part for the wrong serial-number range

For technical Mercury replacement parts, the part number is usually more reliable than a visual match.

When to Replace a Mercury Mount

Replace a Mercury mount when the existing part is damaged, worn, loose, cracked, or listed for replacement during a repair. Replace related hardware only when it is corroded, bent, missing, no longer reusable, or specified in the parts diagram or service procedure.

Common signs that a mount or mounting-related component should be inspected include:

• Excess vibration
• Unusual engine movement
• Loose or damaged hardware
• Visible cracking
• Corrosion around mounting points
• Noise from the mounted assembly
• Misalignment during service
• A failed inspection during repair

Always follow Mercury service guidance for inspection and replacement procedures.

What to Order With Mercury Mount 8135461

Check the parts diagram before ordering to confirm whether the mount is the only part required for the repair or whether separate hardware is specified.

Related parts to verify in the diagram include:

• Mounting bolts
• Washers
• Bushings
• Brackets
• Lock nuts
• Seals
• Gaskets
• Corrosion protection products
• Marine grease
• Related Mercury replacement parts from the same assembly

If the existing mount failed because of corrosion, vibration, or impact, inspect nearby parts before reinstalling.

Basic Installation Considerations

Mercury Mount 8135461 should be installed according to Mercury service guidance for your exact engine. Mounting parts can affect alignment, vibration, and safe operation, so the installation should be handled carefully.

Before installation:

1. Confirm the replacement part number.
2. Compare the new mount with the old part.
3. Inspect surrounding hardware and brackets.
4. Replace damaged or corroded fasteners.
5. Follow Mercury torque specifications where provided.
6. Confirm the assembly is aligned correctly.
7. Recheck the repair after the first use if recommended.

Do not force a mount into place if the shape, holes, or alignment do not match the original part.
