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>

The Quicksilver 879172T28 Marine Fuel Ethanol Alcohol Content Test Tube is an essential diagnostic tool for boat owners who need to verify the ethanol content in their fuel supply. This simple yet effective testing device allows you to quickly determine the percentage of alcohol present in your marine fuel, helping you protect your engine from potential ethanol-related damage.

Key Features:

  • Accurately tests the percentage of ethanol alcohol in marine fuel
  • Easy-to-use design requires no special training or expertise
  • Helps identify potentially harmful fuel before it damages your engine
  • Compact, reusable test tube for convenient onboard storage

Ethanol-blended fuels can cause significant problems in marine engines, including fuel system corrosion, deterioration of rubber components, and phase separation that leads to poor engine performance. By testing your fuel before filling your tank, you can avoid costly repairs and ensure your engine runs at peak performance. The test tube provides clear, visual results that show the exact ethanol percentage in your fuel sample.

Quicksilver has been the premier supplier of marine engine oils, parts, and accessories for over 65 years, delivering products tested through rigorous quality standards to ensure reliability and peace of mind on the water.

Easy ordering.

Appreciate the easy process.

Boatplicity had Caframo fans in stock that other vendors had back ordered. Traveled to three west marine stores that claimed had in stock. Nada. Gave up on that chaos and placed my first order with Boatplicity. They are now my go to marine store. Excellent.
