Mercury – Quicksilver Scraper | K-Plane Hydraulic Trim Tab Component | Durable Elastomer | 36039

Overview

Keep your K-Plane hydraulic trim tabs performing smoothly with the Mercury Marine 36039 Quicksilver Scraper. Designed for K-Plane trim tab systems built in 1994 and newer, this scraper removes dirt, salt, and debris from the hydraulic rod each time it cycles, preventing damage to the seals and internal components. Made from a tough, long-lasting elastomer, it’s built to handle the constant movement, pressure, and marine exposure that come with high-performance boating.

Key Features

• Material: Made from high-strength elastomer that resists cracking, heat, and salt exposure.
• Design: Precision-molded to maintain tight contact with the hydraulic rod for effective cleaning.
• Durability: Built for continuous movement and exposure to harsh marine conditions.
• Fitment: Designed for K-Plane trim tabs (1994 and newer).
• Included: One scraper per package.

Engine & Boat Compatibility

• Mercury Racing K-Plane hydraulic trim tab systems manufactured in 1994 and later.
• Commonly used on offshore performance boats, sport cruisers, and high-speed hulls.
• Works in both saltwater and freshwater environments.

Performance & Practical Benefits

The 36039 scraper plays a small but essential role in keeping your hydraulic system running like new. By wiping the rod clean each time it extends or retracts, it prevents debris and salt crystals from damaging the seals and contaminating hydraulic fluid.

Over time, worn scrapers can allow grit and salt to work their way into the system, leading to leaks and sluggish tab movement. Replacing them periodically keeps your K-Plane tabs moving smoothly and extends the life of your trim system — ensuring precise control and reliable performance at any speed.

Why Buy OEM

The Quicksilver 36039 is a genuine Mercury Marine part, made to fit perfectly and perform under the exact conditions your K-Plane system was designed for. Aftermarket scrapers may not maintain proper tension or could wear prematurely, reducing their cleaning efficiency.

Mercury’s OEM elastomer compound is specifically engineered to resist UV damage, hydraulic fluid exposure, and constant motion. With an OEM scraper, you’re not just replacing a part — you’re preserving the precision and reliability your K-Plane system was built for.
