Starter Motor for Mercury Mariner 115-250HP Outboards - 12V CCW 9-Tooth

Fits Mercury and Mariner 115, 135, 150, 200, 225 and 250HP outboard engines, 1978-2005

This is a direct-fit replacement starter motor built to OEM specifications for Mercury and Mariner outboard engines from 115HP through to 250HP. It is a complete, ready-to-fit unit engineered to match the form, fit and function of the original equipment, so it bolts straight in place of the original starter with no adaptation required.

The unit runs on a standard 12-volt marine electrical system, turns counter-clockwise (CCW) and uses a 9-tooth drive pinion, designed for use with the 135-tooth flywheel fitted to these engines. Matching the drive pinion to the correct flywheel tooth count is essential on these high-horsepower V6 outboards, so this unit is built to the same 9-tooth, 135-tooth-flywheel specification as the original equipment starter.
