Replacement Service Parts
!
WARNING
Avoid fire or explosion hazard. Electrical, ignition, and fuel system components on Mercury Marine products comply with federal
and international standards to minimize risk of fire or explosion. Do not use replacement electrical or fuel system components
that do not comply with these standards. When servicing the electrical and fuel systems, properly install and tighten all
components.
Marine engines are expected to operate at or near full throttle for most of their life. They are also expected to operate in both fresh
and saltwater environments. These conditions require numerous special parts. Exercise care when replacing marine engine parts,
because specifications are different from those of the standard automotive engine. For example, one of the most important special
replacement parts, is the cylinder head gasket. Marine engines cannot use steel‑type automotive head gaskets because saltwater
is highly corrosive. A marine engine head gasket uses special materials to resist corrosion.
Because marine engines must be capable of running at or near maximum RPM much of the time, they also have special valve
springs, valve lifters, pistons, bearings, camshafts and other heavy‑duty moving parts.
Mercury MerCruiser marine engines have other special modifications to provide long life and dependable performance.
Parts and Accessories Inquiries
Direct any inquiries concerning Quicksilver replacement parts and accessories to your local authorized dealer. The dealer has the
necessary information to order parts and accessories for you if they are not in stock. Only authorized dealers can purchase genuine
Quicksilver parts and accessories from the factory. Mercury Marine does not sell to unauthorized dealers or retail customers.
When inquiring on parts and accessories, the dealer requires the
engine model
and
serial numbers
to order the correct parts.
Resolving a Problem
