Performance & Practical Benefits

A good flame arrestor does more than meet regulations — it contributes to how your engine feels and performs. With this Mercury Marine part, airflow stays smooth and predictable, helping the engine breathe without restrictions. That translates into more consistent throttle response and a steadier idle, especially when the engine is pushed during towing or rapid acceleration.

Its multilayer wire-screen design is built to stop flame fronts from entering the intake system, adding a crucial layer of safety. The construction feels solid in your hands, and once installed, it locks in with a secure fit that doesn’t rattle or shift. You’ll notice how clean and controlled the intake path feels, and that reliability shows up during long days on the water when your engine is running hot. Maintenance stays simple too — the materials resist corrosion, and the assembly holds its shape season after season.

Why Buy OEM

When it comes to safety-critical parts like a flame arrestor, choosing genuine Mercury Marine equipment isn’t just smart — it’s essential. Part number 8M0113519 is engineered specifically for the airflow demands, mounting points, and safety requirements of MerCruiser 6.2L MPI engines. Aftermarket versions may look similar, but small differences in screen density, material integrity, or mounting design can compromise performance. With OEM, you know the part meets Mercury’s exact standards, ensuring proper fitment, long-term reliability, and the peace of mind that comes with factory-grade protection.
