Performance & Real-World Benefits

The 807073 trim cylinder bushing keeps your trim system tight and precise, helping your boat handle the way it was meant to. Over time, old bushings wear down, allowing unwanted play in the trim pins. That can lead to vibration, uneven trim action, or extra stress on the cylinders. Swapping in a new OEM bushing restores smooth, predictable motion and helps your hydraulic trim system perform like new again.

Built for the marine environment, it won’t rust, deform, or seize like cheaper aftermarket parts often do. Whether you’re trimming up to beach, launching from the ramp, or running wide open, it helps keep your drive quiet, stable, and dependable.

Why Choose Mercury OEM

The Quicksilver 807073 is the same trim bushing used on new Bravo drives straight from the Mercury factory. It’s made from precision-machined materials designed to fit perfectly and stay that way. Aftermarket bushings can vary slightly in size or hardness, which leads to sloppy fitment or faster wear.

Mercury OEM parts are tested in real marine conditions — salt spray, vibration, and high hydraulic pressure — to make sure they last. It’s the kind of quality that saves time and money down the line by doing the job right the first time.
