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 8M0082487 is a genuine OEM Platinum Plus throttle and shift cable designed for Generation I Mercury and MerCruiser control systems. Measuring 14 feet (4.3m) in length, this factory original replacement cable delivers reliable, precise throttle and shift control in demanding marine environments.

Built with a layered technology construction, this cable features a 100% wire-wrapped outer conduit for added strength and a polypropylene outer jacket that resists UV damage and abrasion. A sealed lubrication system with lubricated core liner surrounds the stainless steel inner core, reducing friction for smooth operation and long-term corrosion resistance. Nickel-plated fittings further protect against the harsh marine environment.

Key Features:

  • Genuine OEM Mercury Marine / Quicksilver Platinum Plus cable — not aftermarket
  • 14 feet (4.3m) in length with Generation I end connections
  • Built for maximum performance in all weather conditions down to 0°F
  • 100% wire-wrapped outer conduit for superior strength and durability
  • Polypropylene outer jacket is UV-resistant and abrasion-resistant
  • Lubricated core liner with stainless steel inner core for smooth, corrosion-resistant operation
  • Nickel-plated fittings resist saltwater and marine corrosion
  • High-efficiency inner core design for smoother, more responsive shifting

Sizing Guide: To determine the correct cable length for a new installation, measure the path from the control to the engine throttle/shift attachment point along the unobstructed cable route, then add 18 inches for outboard applications. For a direct replacement, measure the existing cable tip-to-tip and subtract seven inches.

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