Performance & Real-World Benefits

A healthy oil system is the heartbeat of a 2-stroke. The 828163A2 kit restores dependable lubrication by replacing old, brittle plastic tanks that can leak or let in air. The new design holds pressure better, keeps oil moving smoothly, and helps you avoid those nerve-wracking “no oil” alarms.

It’s quick to install and gives peace of mind knowing your motor’s always getting the right amount of oil — whether you’re trolling or running wide open.

Why Choose OEM

Mercury’s OEM tanks are molded and tested to withstand years of marine punishment. Cheap aftermarket copies may look similar, but they often warp, leak, or crack when exposed to heat and vibration.

A genuine Quicksilver tank kit fits perfectly, seals tight, and delivers the reliability Mercury owners count on. One job done right keeps your outboard happy for many seasons.
