Is there a source to find what parts can be used on multiple outboards. I’m interested in the 1950’s Mercury’s.
September 3, 2021 at 1:25 pm #246030oldmercs.com likely will prove to be a good starting point for the information you are looking for.

September 4, 2021 at 6:18 am #246095Mercury, despite their “Dark Side” reputation, was really good at what you’re asking about, much better than OMC. They had what they called the “Where Used Record.” I have it on microfiche and I am sure, it was printed, at one time.
Long live American manufacturing!
September 5, 2021 at 10:23 am #246162I searched for this “Where Used” publication. Found two of them, one for $135 and $425. The Mark 30 and all the other related parts that came in the deal will go back into hibernation.
September 5, 2021 at 11:04 am #246166If you want to PM me with an email address I can send you a PDF of the Mercury Where Used Book. It is 314 pages long and too large a file to be posted here. I will use wetransfer.com to send you the file. It is free to use.
September 5, 2021 at 12:25 pm #246170Thank you for sending me the manual. I’ll definitely share it.
September 12, 2021 at 2:49 pm #246542I’ve been looking in the “Where used” book to see if my Mark 30 could be retrofitted with a Mark 20 tiller handle and if the parts would allow for throttle control. I matched at least one parts number to both motors. Comparing pictures of the Mark 20 to the Mark 30 looks like the cross shaft might be the same dimensions. If it’s been done before I’d like to keep the option open in case I decide to try the tiller option on another boat.
