    Mercury 200 pro xs fourstroke screw found rattling around inside cowl

    Mercury 200 pro xs 8 cylinder 4 stroke
    Model 12000027a sn 2b637669
    Found this screw(attached) rattling around in engine
    Can't locate where it came from
    It has 10mm head and is 135mm long ( 1 3/8 in)
    It also has a washer on it
    Any suggestion where this screw vibrated out from would be appreciated
    Thanks

    There are some 8x80 screws in the starter... 8x85 in the exhaust, but I don't see anything that resembles that length.

    Of course 135mm would actually be about 5.3".

    If it's 1-3/8" long, that's approximately 35mm.

    See if you can confirm the diameter of the bolt (of course, your Local Dealer should be the one dealing with this for you).

    The second image with the spring... actually resembles a clothespin spring.

    See if you can confirm whether the bolt thread is 6mm or 8mm.
