Performance & Practical Benefits

This starter brings a smooth, confident crank that every boater appreciates. With mid-range outboards, strong torque is essential for effortless starting — and this unit delivers. The permanent magnet direct drive system provides crisp, stable rotation that helps your engine catch quickly, whether it’s first thing in the morning or after sitting idle for a stretch. You’ll feel the tight, secure engagement immediately, without any dragging or low-power lag.

Built for real-world marine conditions, the internal components are protected against heat, corrosion, and vibration. The high-temperature epoxy helps keep wiring locked in place, even after seasons of hard use. The bearings and bushings maintain smooth rotation through repeated cycles, ensuring consistent performance over time. Installation is straightforward thanks to the OEM-aligned fit, making it easy to replace older or worn starters without modification. Once installed, it becomes the kind of part you forget about — not because it’s unimportant, but because it does its job flawlessly.

On the water, that reliability shows up in the moments that matter: quick hole shots, smooth docking maneuvers, and stress-free cold starts. It’s a simple upgrade that improves the feel of your entire engine system.

Why Buy OEM

With something as essential as a starter — especially on engines that power your fishing trips, family outings, and long-range adventures — choosing OEM makes all the difference. Mercury Marine parts are engineered to stricter specifications than most aftermarket units, ensuring cleaner engagement, stronger torque, and far greater durability. Aftermarket starters often sacrifice material quality or internal precision, which can lead to short lifespans and reliability issues. With the 8M6007393, you get a part designed to fit right the first time and perform consistently season after season. It’s the choice most experienced boaters recommend because it saves time, money, and frustration.
