I needed a replacement starter for my mower and wasn’t completely sure which one would fit. I sent them a message and they got back to me quickly, asked for my model information, and helped confirm the right part before I ordered. Everything was handled professionally and the communication was great. Very happy with the service.

Good To Know
Q: Will this fit my 2005 Mercury 50 HP? A: This guard is designed for 40 and 60 HP models, so a 50 HP may not have the same gearcase shape. Confirm your lower unit dimensions before ordering.
Q: Can I install it without removing the propeller? A: Yes, the guard mounts over the skeg using the existing holes, so you can install it without disassembling the lower unit.
Slight variation in finish or dimensions may occur between production runs, and fit can depend on serial number, so confirm compatibility before ordering.
