Mercury – QL76V Spark Plug (4-Pack) | Ignition Component | Copper Core & Ceramic | Part Number 896329898

Overview

Every boater knows that a reliable engine doesn’t start with the throttle or the fuel it starts with a clean, steady spark. The Quicksilver QL76V Spark Plug delivers that dependable ignition that keeps your engine feeling sharp from the moment you turn the key to the moment you head back to the dock. It’s the kind of plug that quietly does its job trip after trip, helping the motor fire smoothly, idle cleanly, and respond with confidence when you ask it to. Whether you’re heading out early to chase fish or cruising with the family, a fresh set of these plugs makes the whole day feel smoother.

Performance & Practical Benefits

Installing a new set of QL76V plugs often feels like giving your engine a fresh start. Starts become quicker and more reliable — no extended cranking, no stumbling, just a clean ignition that settles into a steady idle. Out on the water, the engine feels tighter and more responsive. The copper core ensures consistent heat management, allowing the plug to maintain its firing temperature across long idle periods, slow trolling sessions, and bursts of acceleration.

The resistor design helps keep your electronics clear of interference, which matters more than most boaters realize. Your fish finder stays sharper, your radio cleaner, and your gauges more stable, even as the engine climbs through the rpm range. Meanwhile, the nickel alloy electrode stands up to the moisture and corrosion challenges that come with marine life, helping each plug maintain its performance longer.

Across all cylinders, a matching set of QL76V spark plugs brings balance to your engine. You’ll hear it in the smoother idle, you’ll feel it in the throttle response, and you’ll appreciate it every time the engine accelerates cleanly through chop or handles tight maneuvering near shore.

Why Buy OEM

Ignition components need to match the engine’s firing design, heat range, and combustion timing — even small variations can affect performance. Mercury Marine-specified plugs like the QL76V are built to exact OEM standards, tested in real marine conditions, and chosen because they deliver the right spark characteristics for your engine. Aftermarket versions may fit, but they rarely deliver the same consistency. With OEM plugs, you get better reliability, better fuel efficiency, and fewer unexpected issues. It’s the kind of upgrade seasoned boaters choose because they’ve learned that the right spark plug makes all the difference.
