Performance & Practical Benefits

What you’ll notice first with this trim and tilt motor is how smooth it feels. Press the switch and the motor responds with a steady lift—not rushed, not hesitant, just controlled. That makes a difference when you’re adjusting for chop, trimming up for speed, or easing the motor down to load the boat at the end of the day. The action feels tight and deliberate, giving you a sense of control that’s hard to appreciate until you’ve lost it once.

The epoxy-coated armature handles heat, moisture, and the vibrations that come with long runs and rough water. Copper bushings keep everything turning cleanly so you’re not fighting friction or early wear. Installation is straightforward thanks to the familiar three-wire layout and proper OEM fit. Once mounted, the motor sits secure against the housing—no rattles, no looseness, no second-guessing. Overall, it’s the kind of part that quietly raises the reliability of your entire boat.

Why Buy OEM

Anyone who’s been around boats long enough knows that trim systems aren’t the place to cut corners. A genuine Mercury Marine part gives you a fit that matches your outboard the way the original equipment was intended to. That means fewer headaches and far better long-term performance. Aftermarket motors might look similar, but they rarely match the durability, corrosion resistance, or electrical consistency needed for marine conditions. With Mercury Marine part number 8M6007528, you’re getting reliability that pays off every season—less troubleshooting, more time enjoying the water.
