Mercury Outboard Parts FAQs

How do I select the right parts for my Mercury outboard engine?

Remember, it’s always best to use genuine OEM Mercury parts for your genuine Mercury engine to ensure a good fit and greater engine longevity.

How do I check the hours on my Mercury outboard?

Knowing how many hours are on your engine is the best way to ensure you’re performing proper maintenance. Typically, maintenance intervals for a Mercury outboard engine are 100 hours and 300 hours. With proper maintenance and care, Mercury outboards can easily reach 3,000-4,000 hours of operation, with some even reaching up to 12,000 hours!

There are a few different ways to check the hours on your Mercury outboard. The easiest way is to simply check your console display. Mercury smart gauges on your dashboard should have all the diagnostic information you need, including engine hours. Simply toggle the display to show engine hours, take note of the number, and perform your maintenance accordingly.

For boats without a console display that shows hours, you can also check your motor’s hours with an engine diagnostic tool. Simply plug in the tool, run the diagnostic, and easily see how many hours you have. You may have to take your boat to a dealer to use the tool.

Finally, you can install an aftermarket engine hour meter. They might not come from the factory, but installing an engine hour meter is a great way to keep tabs on your Mercury outboard’s engine hours to ensure proper maintenance intervals.

Is winterizing my Mercury outboard engine really that important?

Absolutely, yes! Properly winterizing your Mercury outboard engine is the best way to prevent damage during the offseason from both lack of use and cold winter temperatures — depending on where you live. It also helps you with a smooth start to the beginning of next season.

There are six steps to a proper winterization of your Mercury outboard engine:

Thoroughly flush your engine with fresh water
Stabilize the entire fuel system
Fog your engine
Change the spark plugs
Change the lower unit oil
Disconnect your lead acid batteries

With your engine properly winterized, there shouldn’t be any harmful debris or materials in the engine components that can cause damage over the off-season months. Plus, with new spark plugs, oil, and fluids, your Mercury outboard should start up right away when boating season starts in the Spring or Summer.

For a more in-depth look at how to winterize your Mercury outboard engine, take a look at this how-to blog from the PartsVu Xchange. And of course, you can find all the winterization products you need at PartsVu.com to make simplify the process.

Which oils and lubricants should I choose for my Mercury outboard engine?

The best oils and lubricants to use on your Mercury outboard engine are genuine Mercury products. Why? Because they’re specifically formulated to meet the needs of your Mercury engine!

Marine engines take their fair share of abuse. Between harsh saltwater, serious vibrations, heavy use (up to 6,400 RPMs on some models), and intense UV sunlight, they need to stay well-lubricated if they’re going to function at maximum efficiency.

While you should absolutely use genuine Mercury lubricants and oils, it’s important to choose the right type of lubricant for your engine model. For example, two-stroke engines require different oils than four-stroke engines.

Check your owner’s manual to determine the specific Mercury oils and lubricants to use for your engine. There are also plenty of guides online to help you choose the best Mercury oils and lubricants to help you enjoy plenty of years on the water.

How do I perform a 100-hour service on my Mercury outboard engine?

To ensure proper engine function, it’s always best to service your Mercury outboard engine every 100 hours with an oil change.

For four-stroke Mercury outboard engine oil changes, the 100-hour service is very similar to what you would do on a car:

Remove the drain plug from the oil reservoir and drain the old oil.
Take off the old oil filter.
Install new oil filter and add fresh Mercury oil.

If you want a more in-depth explanation of how to perform a 100-hour service on a four-stroke Mercury outboard engine, download the full Mercury maintenance guide for step-by-step instructions.

Two-stroke Mercury outboard engines require a slightly different 100-hour service process. Since the engine burns oil as it runs, you don’t typically need to change it like you would in a four-stroke engine. Instead, inspect the tank inside the boat (if applicable) for contaminants or water in the oil. If you see some, remove the oil with a vacuum extractor and replace it with fresh oil.

For an in-depth guide about how to perform a 100-hour service on a two-stroke Mercury outboard engine, download the full maintenance guide.

To make engine maintenance even easier, PartsVu has a wide selection of Mercury outboard engine 100-hour service kits available. They’re pre-assembled with everything you need to keep your boat happy and healthy every 100 hours.

What are the parts of a Mercury outboard motor?

A Mercury outboard motor is a complex machine made up of many different parts that work together to power your boat. Here are some of the key parts of a Mercury outboard motor:

Powerhead - the main body of the motor that contains the engine block, cylinder head, and other key components.
Carburetor or Fuel Injection System - responsible for delivering fuel to the engine in the correct mixture for efficient combustion.
Ignition System - provides the spark needed to ignite the fuel and air mixture in the engine cylinders.
Propeller - the rotating blade that converts engine power into thrust to propel the boat through the water.
Lower Unit - the section of the motor that contains the driveshaft, gears, and bearings that transfer power from the engine to the propeller.
Cooling System - keeps the engine from overheating by circulating water or a water-coolant mixture through the motor.
Electrical System - includes the battery, charging system, and other components needed to power the ignition system and other electrical devices on the boat.
Steering System - includes the steering wheel, cables, and other components that allow you to control the direction of the boat.
Trim and Tilt System - allows you to adjust the angle of the motor to optimize performance and maneuverability.
Anodes - sacrificial metal parts that protect the motor from galvanic corrosion caused by the interaction of different metals in the presence of salt water.

There are many other parts and components that make up a Mercury outboard motor, but these are some of the most important and commonly known.

Are all OEM Mercury parts covered by a warranty?

Most OEM Mercury parts are covered by a warranty. However, the specific terms and duration of the warranty can vary depending on the part and the circumstances of its use.

For example, some parts may come with a limited warranty that covers defects in materials and workmanship for a certain period of time, typically 1-3 years. Other parts may be covered by a warranty that only applies if the part was installed by an authorized Mercury dealer or service center.

It's important to carefully review the warranty information provided with each part to understand the specific terms and conditions of the warranty. If you have any questions about warranty coverage for a particular part, you can contact your local Mercury dealer or the manufacturer directly for more information.

Are MerCruiser engine parts interchangeable with Mercury outboard parts?

MerCruiser is a brand of inboard and sterndrive engines and their parts are not interchangeable with Mecury outboard parts, which are designed for use with outboard engines. Inboard and sterndrive engines have different components and are built differently than outboard engines.

It's important to use the correct parts for your specific engine to ensure proper fit and function. Using the wrong parts can potentially cause damage to your engine and compromise its performance and safety. If you are unsure about which parts to use, it's always best to consult with a professional mechanic or the manufacturer for guidance.

The 9.8 model has a maximum power output of 9.8 horsepower, while the 9.9 model has a maximum power output of 9.9 horsepower. This may result in differences in the design and specifications of some parts between the two models. However, many parts may be interchangeable between these models or may have compatible alternatives.

How many Mercury outboard gas tank parts are there?

The number of parts for a Mercury outboard gas tank can vary depending on the size and type of tank, as well as the specific model and year of the outboard motor. However, there are a few key components that are common to most gas tanks used with Mercury outboard motors. These include:

Fuel tank: This is the main component of the gas tank, which holds the fuel for the outboard motor. Fuel tanks can be made of plastic, metal, or other materials.
Fuel cap: The fuel cap is the lid that covers the fuel tank opening and helps to prevent fuel leaks and evaporation.
Fuel pickup: The fuel pickup is the mechanism that draws fuel from the tank and sends it to the outboard motor. This can be a hose, tube, or other type of pickup device.
Fuel line: The fuel line connects the fuel pickup to the outboard motor and allows fuel to flow from the tank to the engine.
Fuel filter: Some gas tanks may have a built-in fuel filter, which helps to remove contaminants and impurities from the fuel before it reaches the engine.
Vent: The vent is a small opening in the gas tank that allows air to enter and exit the tank, which helps to prevent pressure buildup and fuel leaks.

How many Mercury outboard throttle control parts are there?

The number of throttle control parts for Mercury outboard motors can vary depending on the model and year of the motor, as well as the type of control system being used. Generally, there are several key components that make up a Mercury outboard throttle control system, including:

Throttle control cables: These cables transmit the driver's input to the throttle and shift mechanisms in the outboard motor.
