    Please help identify this part

    UPDATE! UPDATED!!!! With pics.


    The motor work I was struggling thru was a success and so finally I took the time to address the magnetism issue of the incorrect and the correct steering pin/s. My original thought was about the (first) purchased steering pin, with no information about it other than visually. I noted that it was magnetic and wondered if that was normal or not. Well I place my small magnet on the known stainless steering pin that I installed on the motor and found it is!
    The Stainless steering pin IS Magnetic!

    I then inspected the steering pin, that I couldn't use because it was the wrong part and it is also stainless. So I will now offer it for sale. However i need to identify what it fits for sure. This is the as yet unidentified steering pin in the swivel bracket that is for sale.

    Note; the short shoulder as compared to the removed steering pin.

    Also the unidentified steering pin the upper mount is far different than my 1989 Merc 150's upper mounts. the mount is visible in the above picture, here is another view.

    True stainless will not take a magnet. Or should I say a magnet will not adhear to stainless. It hase more nickle in it to make it stainless, that why magnets will not stick to them.

    Pictures updated!!! Sorry.

    Thanks guys for helping, I am really wondering what I have here.

    The motor I have is a 1989 Mercury 150 HP V6.

    The stainless steering pin came from a friend who removed it from a late model engine that was post "stainless" only steering pins.

    Magnets do stick to some stainless. Try a magnet on a stainless prop and let us know the results. Steve
