Performance & Practical Benefits

A Verado that’s properly serviced just feels different—more responsive, more controlled, more willing. With the oil and fuel filters replaced, you get cleaner flow and a steadier idle. Gearcase seals refresh one of your engine’s most important defenses, keeping water out and lubrication where it belongs. Everything in this kit works together to deliver smoother operation, longer component life, and a sense of dependability that only true OEM parts can give.

Mercury designed this kit for a tight, confident fit. The seals seat properly, the filters thread cleanly, and you don’t have to wrestle with anything to make it work. When you finish the job, you can feel the difference in the way your engine starts, shifts, and carries the load. It’s that steady reliability that keeps you out on the water instead of stuck at the dock.

Why Buy OEM

Boaters who run Verados know better than to gamble with aftermarket service parts. Here’s why OEM is the smart call:

• Built for the exact tolerances of your engine
• Designed to handle high heat, vibration, and marine corrosion
• Protects long-term reliability and reduces risk of premature failures
• Comes with every seal and filter you need—no hunting down missing pieces
• Saves time and money by getting the job right the first time

If you want your Verado to perform like a Verado, OEM is the only choice.
