Which engines and model years will this starter work with?

This starter was designed for compatibility with many Mercury and Mariner models spanning multiple years, including various ELPTO/ELHPTO lines and coastal/saltwater variants. Check the specific model codes and year ranges against your boat's engine ID to confirm fitment.

• Fits Mercury models: 75/90/100 HP variants and specific ELPTO/ELHPTO series across 1986–2005 ranges.
• Compatible Mariner models including 50–70 HP ELO/ELPTO/ELPT series and select 115ELPTO coastal units.
• Reference included OEM and cross-reference part numbers (e.g., PH130-0041, 5066015, 5057485) to ensure interchangeability.

What are the technical specs I should verify before buying?

Verify voltage, rotation direction, tooth count, case length, and the absence or presence of mounting hardware to ensure a proper replacement. This starter is new, 12V, rotates counterclockwise, and features a 10-tooth pinion with a 128.9 mm long field case.

• Voltage: 12V; Rotation: CCW (counterclockwise).
• Tooth count: 10 teeth on the pinion gear; important for ring gear match.
• Long field case length: 128.9 mm; compare to original housing dimensions.
• Mounting hardware: not included—plan to reuse original bolts or order fasteners separately.

How does the starter match OEM and cross-reference part numbers?

The Parts Player unit is manufactured to match numerous OEM and aftermarket reference numbers so it can replace many legacy starters without modifying the engine. A broad list of cross-references lets installers verify interchangeability by comparing numbers from service manuals, parts diagrams, or existing components.

• Includes cross-references such as PH130-0041, PH130-0015 and legacy OEM numbers like 5066015, 5057485.
• Also matches alternative identifiers: STR-1063, SM48386, MS-636 and many manufacturer-coded variants.
• Check your engine’s service tag or existing starter housing for any of the listed numbers before ordering.

What should I expect during installation and maintenance?

Installation is straightforward for mechanically experienced owners or professional marine technicians: verify fit, secure the starter to the bellhousing, and reconnect electrical leads per manufacturer torque specs. Because mounting hardware isn’t included, plan to have the correct bolts and torque wrench available.

• Inspect ring gear and pinion for wear before installing; replace worn components to prevent premature damage.
• Ensure battery and charging system deliver adequate cranking amps for reliable engagement.
• Torque all fasteners to your engine’s specifications and recheck electrical connections after initial run-up.

Who is this for: This Parts Player starter is aimed at boat owners, marine mechanics, and restoration projects dealing with older Mercury and Mariner outboards who need a reliable, new replacement that aligns with original specifications. It’s especially useful when OEM numbers match the cross-reference list and when a direct-fit 12V, 10-tooth CCW starter with a 128.9 mm long field case is required. If you require mounting hardware or have an uncommon engine variant, confirm fitment with engine serial data or consult a marine technician before purchase.
