Engine Compatibility

This is not an engine-only part. The strongest supportable fitment is by the exact control, steering handle, throttle cable, or cable-routing diagram. Current Mercury where-used records show broad application across Mercury / Mariner outboard steering-handle and control assemblies, including many 35-115 HP outboard families and jet models, plus some MerCruiser drive, transom, remote-control, steering-system, and trim/tilt component listings.

Serial Number Fitment Notice

Verify fitment by exact engine or drive serial number and the correct throttle cable / control / steering handle parts diagram before ordering. This guide appears across many Mercury and MerCruiser product families, so serial-based confirmation is the safest way to match the correct cable guide and replacement number.

When This Part Needs Replacement

Replace this guide when the original is cracked, missing, worn, loose, or no longer routes the throttle cable correctly. A worn cable guide can allow poor cable alignment or excess movement in the control linkage area, so it is best replaced when the cable-routing hardware is being serviced.

Installation Notes

Install 43433 or current replacement 8M0204660 only after confirming the correct Mercury parts diagram for the control or steering-handle assembly being serviced. The replacement is a functional supersession and may look different from the original part, so match by part number and diagram callout rather than appearance alone.

Alternate/Superseded Part Numbers

Current sources show 8M0204660 as the active replacement for 43433. Related superseded OEM references include 29880, 20175, and 22879.

Parts Desk Insight

With cable guides, the important match is the control assembly and cable-routing location. Checking the serial-number-based diagram first usually prevents ordering a guide that looks similar but belongs to a different control or steering-handle setup.
