Quicksilver Trailering Clips: OEM Protection for Your MerCruiser Sterndrive
When it comes time to haul your boat down the highway, protecting your MerCruiser sterndrive is just as important as securing the hull. Quicksilver — the premier supplier of Mercury Marine original equipment parts and accessories — offers a purpose-built solution in its Trailering Clips lineup that every sterndrive owner should have on hand before the next road trip.
What Quicksilver Trailering Clips Do
Quicksilver's MerCruiser Sterndrive Trim Cylinder Trailering Clips easily snap on to both trim cylinder rams to support the trimmed-out drive when trailering the boat. Without this support, the weight of the drive resting unsupported on the trim cylinders during transport can place undue stress on hydraulic seals and internal components — leading to premature wear or costly leaks. These small clips deliver meaningful, long-term protection for a part of the boat that sees significant mechanical stress.
Purposeful Design Details
They are made from bright red/orange composite plastic to help remind you to remove them before launching the boat. That vivid color choice is no accident — it acts as a built-in visual safety cue, making it nearly impossible to forget the clips are installed before you back the trailer down the ramp. These clips are produced by Mercury Marine to stringent original equipment manufacturer specifications to maximize the performance of your Mercury and Mariner outboard or MerCruiser stern drive.
Wide Sterndrive Compatibility
Quicksilver Trailering Clips fit MC-I, R, MR, Alpha, and Bravo drives. They are also compatible with Blackhawk drive trim rams, making them a versatile choice for a broad range of MerCruiser-equipped boats across many model years. Each package includes two clips — one for each trim cylinder ram — ensuring complete, balanced support for the drive during transport.
