correct throttle control shaft Mariner 40

[djay22]

I need some help sourcing the correct throttle shaft for my 40 HP ML 2 stroke Mercury Mariner.
serial number is 6E9 L 359629. Throttle and steering are controlled by tiller arm on the engine, and the throttle shaft protrudes outside the top cowling to connect to a quick release fitting from the tiller throttle cable.
I ordered part number 83527T, throttle control shaft for a Mariner 40 engine from Marine Engines as this was the part shown in the parts listings , this part is the alternative to 83527M.
The only problem is the shaft received is 2 1/2 inches long, but the one on the engine is longer, maybe 2 3/4 or 3 inch.
Can anyone advise if you know if there is a longer shaft available, or is anyone breaking a 40hp with the longer throttle shaft?
This stops me operating the engine as I have no throttle as the shaft is to short to re-assemble everything on it.

Thanks
Darryl

Thanks for the reply Gerry.

It is item 22 under throttle control.

The part number on this site is different again to the other sites. This one shows 814573M.
Funnily enough after posting this I found that part number elsewhere but unsure if it was the correct one, especially as it is a discontinued item.
After much searching I found one on e bay and have ordered it.
Your link hopefully gives credibility to it being the correct part.

83537M is a bracket. You have to be careful with these part numbers and ensure you are ordering the right one for your engine s/n, especially as there are so many different models of 40hp for that series engine. 814573M SHAFT is the part listed for your engine s/n.

Just a quick update.
I ordered the part 814573M on e-bay and received part 83527M, which is the original short shaft I ordered.
So no nearer to getting the correct shaft. Hopefully find one soon.

not been able to source the part 814573M anywhere.
Does anyone know where I can source one from?
Any local dealers have any old stock?
Any assistance would be appreciated.
