Quicksilver® offers complete all-new, drop-in replacement engines for many boats originally powered by legendary Mercury® MerCruiser® sterndrive and inboard engines, many Volvo Penta® sterndrives, and any brand of gasoline inboard engine, often with a significant upgrade in durability, performance and technology. Quicksilver offers a replacement gasoline engine for almost any type of boat, from a compact runabout to a classic inboard tow boat to a long-range cruiser. When you choose a Quicksilver complete engine, you’re choosing performance, protection and peace of mind.
All-New Marine Engines
These are genuine marine engines, fitted with U.S. Coast Guard-approved components and corrosion-resistant fasteners, and finished with a durable corrosion-resistant paint process. You get a brand-new engine – never rebuilt or remanufactured – with improved components, technology and built-in durability designed to withstand years of marine duty – one of the most abusive and demanding environments for any engine.
Custom Blocks
The foundation of every Quicksilver complete engine is a new iron block cast to our specifications and designed expressly for marine duty. Thicker castings ensure quieter operation and better durability in saltwater when compared to a standard automotive block.
Black-X Valves
Black‑X composite valves contribute to a 42% reduction in valve wear compared to traditional stainless steel valves with hardened seats, for longer engine life, especially in the presence of modern ethanol-blended fuels. Smooth-flowing Quicksilver cylinder heads deliver added performance in sterndrive or inboard installations.
