Performance & Real-World Benefits

The 47341A11 starter rope assembly takes the frustration out of manual starting. Its reinforced cord glides smoothly through the housing, and the molded handle gives you a solid, comfortable grip — even with wet hands. Whether you’re cold-starting at dawn or restarting mid-day, the pull feels light and controlled.

This assembly is built for longevity, resisting the fraying and moisture damage that often shorten the life of lesser ropes. It’s the kind of detail that makes starting your Mercury easier, faster, and more reliable, trip after trip.

Why Choose Mercury OEM

The 47341A11 is a genuine Mercury Marine assembly, made to the same specs used on new Mercury outboards. Aftermarket starter ropes often use lower-grade cord or poorly fitted handles that slip or wear out quickly.

Mercury’s OEM assembly ensures proper length, strength, and grip — engineered to perform perfectly with your engine’s recoil system. When it comes to starting your boat, you want something you can trust every time you pull.
