Quicksilver

<h3>Quicksilver: The Marine Enthusiast&apos;s Trusted OEM Brand</h3><p>For boaters who refuse to compromise on quality, <strong>Quicksilver</strong> has been the benchmark for marine parts, accessories, and engine care products since 1950. Based in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, Quicksilver operates as the parts and accessories brand of Mercury Marine — and that heritage is central to everything it makes. As the only marine aftermarket brand manufactured and recommended by an original-equipment manufacturer, Quicksilver brings factory-level engineering directly to boat owners, professional technicians, and weekend warriors alike.</p><p>What sets Quicksilver apart from generic aftermarket suppliers is its direct lineage to the engineers who designed the engines in the first place. Every component is engineered, tested, and manufactured with the same exacting standards as the original equipment it replaces. The result is a product line that fits right the first time and delivers the reliability boaters depend on — whether they&apos;re navigating calm inland lakes or pushing through demanding saltwater conditions.</p><p>Quicksilver&apos;s catalog spans more than 40,000 parts across 12 product lines, covering outboard and sterndrive engines from Mercury, Mariner, Yamaha, Honda, Evinrude, Johnson, Suzuki, and more. Among the most critical components in that lineup are Quicksilver Fuel Pumps, which are built to deliver factory fit and consistent fuel delivery across a wide range of outboard applications. Reliable fuel delivery is the foundation of engine performance, and Quicksilver&apos;s fuel system components are engineered to handle the demanding conditions of marine use — including compatibility with current fuel formulations.</p><p>Beyond fuel systems, Quicksilver is a go-to source for Propeller Parts &amp; Accessories that help boaters maintain and optimize their propulsion systems. From hub kits that protect both prop and gearcase to installation hardware and prop tools, these components are designed to the same tolerances as the drives they support. Proper propeller maintenance is one of the most impactful things a boat owner can do for performance, efficiency, and engine longevity — and Quicksilver makes that job straightforward.</p><p>The brand&apos;s commitment extends across lubricants, impellers, thermostats, anodes, fuel filters, oil filters, maintenance kits, and complete service packages — all engineered for the marine environment and tested to meet or exceed the standards of major engine manufacturers. Whether you&apos;re performing routine seasonal maintenance or tackling a more involved repair, Quicksilver provides the parts that restore your engine to peak operating condition.</p><ul style="list-style:disc"><li>OEM-backed engineering from Mercury Marine</li><li>Compatible with Mercury, Yamaha, Honda, Evinrude, Johnson, Suzuki, and Mariner engines</li><li>Over 40,000 parts spanning 12 product lines</li><li>Formulated and tested for freshwater and saltwater environments</li><li>Trusted by DIY boaters and professional marine technicians since 1950</li></ul><p>When reliability on the water is non-negotiable, Quicksilver delivers the peace of mind that only a true OEM-backed brand can provide.</p>

Product Details

The Quicksilver 8M0082545 is an OEM Platinum Plus Generation II throttle and shift cable measuring 22 feet in length. Engineered by Mercury Marine, this replacement cable is built to deliver smooth, precise throttle and shift control in even the most demanding marine environments, with performance rated down to below 0°F.

This cable features a layered technology construction that combines a stainless steel core with a lubricated core liner for corrosion resistance and lasting flexibility. The polypropylene outer jacket is UV and abrasion resistant, protecting the cable from sun exposure and wear over time. The patented hexagonal core shape minimizes contact with the liner for reduced friction and smoother operation.

Key Features:

  • Generation II (G2) connection type — compatible with Mercury Gen II controls
  • 22 feet in length
  • Polypropylene outer jacket resists UV rays and abrasion
  • Stainless steel core with 22 oil-tempered wires for enhanced compression strength and durability
  • Lubricated core liner maintains flexibility and resists the harsh marine environment
  • Patented hexagonal core shape minimizes liner contact for smooth, low-friction operation
  • Rated for performance in all weather conditions, down to below 0°F

Determining the Correct Cable Length: The easiest way to identify the correct replacement cable is to read the length and part number printed on your existing cable. Alternatively, measure the unobstructed cable route from the control to the engine throttle/shift attachment point. For outboard installations, add 18 inches to your measurement.

When to Replace Your Cable: Replace the throttle and shift cable when you notice excessive free play or stiffness at the control, or if you find chafed, broken, bent, or loose components. Throttle and shift cables cannot be repaired — only replaced. Do not lubricate the core, and avoid tight or sharp bends during installation.

Great prices and quick shipping! They kept me informed of when the item was shipped also. Couldn't be happier!

good so far....

It was good

Ordering the product was easy and rep. Was helpful! The product was shipped fast and came a little messed up in package but complete to my knowledge.

Great prices. Smooth, easy shopping experience. Will shop again

Right price. Quick &amp; easy

Good price on parts, easy searching with Google Shopping, easy Checkout with Google Checkout. Wish the order shipped a day sooner. Called the 1-800 numnber, I get a little worried sometimes ordering car parts online - some sellers are bogus. But they answered the phone quickly and with a person in the US, not a machine or someone in another country.
