Hope someone can help me. I have a 1983 Mercury 50 hp outboard. When I try to start it the starter engages,and cranks the engine, but just as it fires the starter disengages. Is it the starter that needs to be replaced or some part of it. I 'm used to oars, not to engines. Any help would great.

That is how it is suposed to work. pump primer up til tight, then put your fast idle lever to half or 3/4 way up then try to start. Should fire up and then adjust the fast idle accordingly. Just make sure that it is in the water or you have muffs on it.
