24-81103M – Spring – Mercury Outboard

The 24-81103M Mercury spring is an OEM starter pawl spring that fits various Mercury and Mariner outboard engines. This small spring helps return the starter pawl to its resting position after each pull or electric start. It appears in recoil starter parts diagrams as a key component in the pawl assembly.

In many starter assemblies, the 24-81103M Mercury spring works under tension to keep moving parts aligned. Because it absorbs frequent movement during engine starts, the spring can weaken or wear over time. When the spring loses tension, the starter pawl may not engage or retract as it should. Therefore, replacing a worn spring helps restore consistent starter action.

To install the replacement spring correctly, check your engine’s starter assembly and serial range. Then fit the spring where it routes the starter pawl properly. This ensures smooth movement and reliable engagement when you start your engine.
