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 8M0082541 is an OEM replacement throttle and shift cable for Mercury Marine and Quicksilver-controlled outboard and sterndrive applications. This 18-foot Platinum Plus Generation II cable features the Gen II end connections and is engineered for long service life in demanding marine environments.

Determining the correct replacement cable is straightforward: read the length and part number printed on the existing cable, or measure the routing path from the control to the engine throttle/shift attachment point. Add 18 inches to your measurement for outboard installations.

Key Features:

  • Generation II connections — designed as a direct OEM replacement for Gen II control systems
  • Platinum Plus layered construction — smooth-operating, durable design rated for performance in all weather conditions down to below 0°F
  • Polypropylene outer jacket — UV and abrasion resistant for long-term protection in the marine environment
  • Stainless steel core — patented hexagonal shape minimizes liner contact and handles demanding compression loads while remaining flexible
  • 22 oil-tempered core wires — provide increased compression strength and enhanced durability
  • Lubricated core liner — surrounds the stainless steel core to resist corrosion and maintain smooth, flexible operation

Installation Notes: Throttle and shift cables cannot be repaired — only replaced. Replace the cable when you notice excessive free play, stiffness at the control, or visible chafing, bending, or broken/loose components. Do not lubricate the core. Avoid tight or sharp bends during installation. Removal and reinstallation can be completed with common tools.

Good business

Great value, great service! I will continue to purchase auto parts through your website.

I was satisfied with my purchase. It was difficult getting a high gloss, but I think that was because I didn't sand the surface smooth enough. Oh well! I may sand lightly and reapply.
