Had a good first run out from crosshouse slip on sunday. Engine ran well and boat handled beautifully.

I could be heading out this weekend, Will be my first trip out on the boat since getting it 18 months ago, Sadly not a lot has been done in the way of restoration but it at least has a nicely running motor now. Actually it's all going to be a new experience for me. Most of the boats I've launched ha...

I should have thought of that myself really. After all they are within walking distance.

As per subject, I'm looking for a mercury reverse locking cam for a '74 Merc 500 current part number 43308T1.

Don't suppose anyone has a spare I can purchase at less than dealer cost?

Thanks in advance.

Fleabay is often good for small quantities of stainless fixings if you can't find anywhere locally.

Thanks but don't worry too much, i bit the bullet and ordered a new one from moto electrical. under £100 delivered so i'm pleased with that.
looking forward to getting the engine up after it's mini rebuild.

I've been scouring ebay for a month or so for one now, all to no joy.

There's a few in the states but by the time i've paid postage and customs i could buy a new one over here.
Don't really want to wait any longer, my arm's starting to hurt from the pull starting.

That's the one. Thanks for looking anyway.

Guess i'll have to get one off MarEng.

Sorry my mistake,

It's a Merc 500, circa 1975.

I can't be more precise than that as the serial plate was missing when I bought it and I've not managed to find one on the block.

Thanks

Don't suppose there's a mercury starter motor in there somewhere 50-55601a2 ???
