BUOY PIN 17-97730M REC688-14548-00
Description
Function and technical context
The buoy pin is a structural component of the flotation system built into small displacement Mercury engines. Its mission is to ensure the stable and safe positioning of the floating buoy, which acts as a passive protection mechanism in case of overturning or accidental immersion of the propeller in water. This pin supports dynamic loads generated by the movement of the engine during navigation, as well as stresses derived from sudden maneuvers, changes of direction and reversing. A deterioration or breakage of this component compromises the functionality of the floating safety system, preventing the engine from maintaining its emergency position and putting at risk the ability to respond to critical situations in the water.
When to replace this part?
Indicators of wear or failure include visible deformation of the pin, advanced corrosion from exposure to the marine environment, uncontrolled displacement or abnormal play of the buoy, and failure to properly assemble the flotation assembly. It is recommended that the integrity of this pin be inspected at the beginning of each boating season, with special emphasis on saltwater vessels where corrosion accelerates metal deterioration. Preventive replacement before damage is detected avoids critical failures in navigation and ensures that the flotation system responds appropriately in case of emergency need.
