I was wondering if anyone would know what the replacement cost would be for a 1986 25 hp Mercury Long Shaft and all the controls and cables.

Thanks,

New or remanufactured parts on line prices can be found on quite a few different web sites, seirra marine is a good one to look at but you will need all of your numbers and measurements to get the right quote.

Probably about twice what the motor is worth. Is this a motor you're trying to convert to a long shaft and remote controls? The reason I ask, if it's a manual motor, most likely it does not have a charging system in it either, so you would have to add a starter and all the other stuff. Probably could by a brand new motor for about the same price as trying to do all that.

No what happened was someone stole it off my boat. They cut all the cables and took everything. My insurance wants to only give me 500 dollars for it. Im tring to find out what people think it is worth. NADA said between 2k-2500.

depends on what it was insured for. unfortunately there is no way you could replace it for that.

The only way you're going to be able to determine the value is by finding a similar similar year and model for sale. No way under the sun is the insurance going to give you $2k - $2.5k for a 26 year old motor, that's almost the new price, but I seriously doubt you can replace it for $500. All the control cables and wiring is going to cost close to what a motor will cost.

If you can find a good used one, I would guess somewhere between $800 and $1,200 for a good motor with controls.

Most likely, even if you find one, you will have to buy new control cables, they're going to be somewhat expensive themselves.
