You’ll notice this part most in what you don’t feel — no grinding, no wobble, no unpredictable trim movement. The Quicksilver 847637 provides a firm, steady connection that keeps your trim sender aligned and responsive. It’s precision-machined for perfect fitment, so you won’t fight with it during installation or wonder if it’s seated right.

Once in place, it keeps your gimbal ring operating smoothly and your trim readings accurate, protecting other key components from wear.

The corrosion-resistant design handles the harsh marine environment without complaint, maintaining its integrity season after season.

Why Buy OEM

When you choose a genuine Mercury Marine part, you’re buying peace of mind. Aftermarket parts might look similar, but they rarely match Mercury’s precise engineering tolerances or materials tested for marine use. This bushing is designed to perform exactly as the original — no guesswork, no modification, no premature wear.

It’s the kind of reliability that pays off over years of use. Installing the right part the first time means your trim system stays tight, your steering stays true, and you avoid chasing frustrating issues down the line. For boaters who know the difference, OEM isn’t about brand loyalty — it’s about trust, performance, and time well spent on the water.
