Default 1973 Mercury (200) 20hp starter motor

Hi,

I was wondering if another starter motor from a different year will fit onto my 1973 Mercury (200) 20hp . The serial no: I have for this motor is 8003457A.

Thankyou

Seloc Manual under Cranking motor. There are two motors used, the larger motor is used on 35 & 40hp motors and " The smaller motor is used on all other units when a cranking motor is installed"

If youve got or can get hold of a Seloc manual it tells you how to test, dismantle & repair the starter motors. Are you sure it needs replacing.

As long as its the smaller type and not off a 30-40hp according to the Seloc book they should fit. The part number is 50 47216 later changed to 5097949AJ.
