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 8M0082542 is a 19-foot Generation II Platinum Plus throttle and shift cable engineered for Mercury Marine applications. Designed as a direct OEM replacement, this cable features a layered construction that delivers smooth, precise control for both throttle and shift functions in demanding marine environments.

Built to withstand the rigors of the marine environment, this cable performs reliably in all weather conditions—including temperatures well below 0°F. The stainless steel core, UV-resistant outer jacket, and sealed lubrication system ensure long service life even in harsh saltwater and freshwater conditions.

Key Features:

  • Generation II connections — designed for compatibility with Gen II Mercury Marine remote controls
  • 19 feet in length — suitable for a wide range of boat layouts and outboard installations
  • Polypropylene outer jacket — UV and abrasion resistant for lasting durability
  • Lubricated core liner — surrounds the stainless steel core to resist corrosion while maintaining flexibility
  • Stainless steel inner core — specially designed to handle tough compression loads
  • Sealed lubrication system with nickel-plated fittings — resists corrosion in harsh marine environments
  • Large-diameter cable with 100% wire-wrapped outer conduit — provides additional strength and durability
  • Rated for temperatures below 0°F — built for maximum performance in all weather conditions

Installation Tips:

  • To determine the correct cable length, measure the path from the control to the engine throttle/shift attachment point along the unobstructed cable route
  • Add 18 inches for outboard installations
  • Avoid tight or sharp bends during routing
  • Do not lubricate the core
  • Remove the old or damaged cable and install the new cable in reverse order — replacement is straightforward with common tools

When to Replace Your Cable: Replace the throttle and shift cable when you notice excessive free play or stiffness at the control, or when you observe chafed, broken, bent, or loose parts. Throttle and shift cables cannot be repaired — only replaced.

The Quicksilver 8M0082542 is sold as a single cable. Always verify the length and connection type (Gen II) by referencing the part number or markings on your existing cable before ordering.
