3. Remove the Old Bushing: Carefully pry out the old, worn bushing using pliers or a suitable flat-head tool. Be gentle to avoid damaging the linkage arm.
4. Clean the Area: Clean the linkage joint opening to remove any dirt, grease, or fragments from the old bushing.
5. Align the New Bushing: Position the new bushing correctly with the opening in the linkage.
6. Install the New Bushing: Press the new bushing firmly into the joint until it snaps into place and is fully seated. It should be a snug fit.
7. Test Operation: Reconnect any components you may have moved. Manually move the throttle lever to ensure movement is smooth and free of play.

Troubleshooting & FAQ

Q: How do I confirm this part fits my Mercury engine?

A: This bushing is designed for many Mercury/Mariner 20-115HP outboards, jet drives, and V-series engines, primarily from 1989-1991. The best way to confirm fitment is to check your engine's original part number against our cross-reference list (932481, 23-932481, 93248). Please also review the detailed compatibility table on this page.

Q: What are the symptoms of a bad throttle linkage bushing?

A: Common signs of a failed bushing include excessive play or "slop" in the throttle lever, difficulty or inability to shift gears properly, and inconsistent throttle response. A visual inspection may show that the bushing is cracked, brittle, or has disintegrated entirely.

Q: How often should this bushing be replaced?

A: There is no fixed replacement interval. We recommend inspecting the bushing during regular engine maintenance (e.g., annually) and replacing it immediately if you notice any signs of wear, cracking, or degradation. Proactive replacement can prevent unexpected shifting problems on the water.
