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 8M0082489 is a genuine OEM Platinum Plus Generation I throttle and shift cable measuring 16 feet in length. Engineered by Mercury Marine for long-lasting reliability, this cable is built to deliver smooth, precise throttle and shift control in demanding marine environments.

The Platinum Plus series features a layered technology construction designed for maximum performance across all weather conditions, including temperatures below 0°F. A UV- and abrasion-resistant polypropylene outer jacket protects against the elements, while a lubricated core liner surrounding a stainless steel core resists the harsh marine environment while maintaining flexibility. The larger-diameter cable body includes a 100% wire-wrapped outer conduit for enhanced strength and durability, and nickel-plated fittings with a sealed lubrication system provide superior corrosion resistance.

Key Features:

  • Genuine OEM Quicksilver / Mercury Marine replacement cable
  • 16 feet in length with Generation I connections
  • Platinum Plus series — built for performance in all weather, down to below 0°F
  • UV- and abrasion-resistant polypropylene outer jacket
  • Lubricated core liner surrounding a stainless steel core for flexibility and durability
  • 100% wire-wrapped outer conduit for added strength
  • Nickel-plated fittings with sealed lubrication system resist corrosion
  • Do not lubricate the core; avoid tight or sharp bends during installation

Sizing Tips: To determine 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 replacements, measure the existing cable tip to tip and subtract 7 inches. You can also confirm the correct length and connection type by reading the label on your existing cable.

When to Replace: Replace the throttle and shift cable when you notice excessive free play or stiffness at the control, or if the cable shows signs of chafing, bending, breakage, or loose components. Throttle and shift cables cannot be repaired — only replaced. Replacement can be completed with common tools by removing the old cable and installing the new cable in reverse order.

Ordering was quick and easy. A lot of piece of mind being able to check out through Amazon. We'll see how the rest goes. (Shipment, correct product, customer service if needed, etc)

I wanted to order a couple of difficult to find accessories for my new Jeep Wrangler. Autoplicity not only had the items I was looking for, but had them at a very reasonable price. The two items were shipped separately but arrived in short order. Thanks to Autoplicity for filling my order #7860 of 3/26/12 quickly and accurately. See you again soon.
