Mercury – Trim/Tilt Motor | Volvo-Penta SX Series | Marine Electrical | 8M6007552

Overview

When you spend enough weekends on the water, you learn quickly which parts you can trust—and which ones you never want to deal with again. Your trim and tilt system is one of those things you don’t think about much… until the moment it stops responding. That quiet hum as your sterndrive rises or drops is more than just a sound; it’s the smooth, familiar signal that your boat is ready for the day. The Quicksilver 8M6007552 Trim/Tilt Motor is built for boaters who depend on that feeling—boaters who want reliability without the guesswork.

Performance & Practical Benefits

A dependable trim/tilt motor changes everything. The 8M6007552 provides tight, responsive movement that you’ll feel every time you tap the switch. No lag, no stutter—just smooth motion that lets you fine-tune your ride whether you are climbing onto plane or adjusting for following seas.

The upgraded copper bushings reduce internal wear, helping the motor stay steady season after season. The high-temperature epoxy armature protects wiring from heat and moisture, two of the biggest culprits in marine electrical failure. Every movement feels secure and controlled, giving you confidence whether you are adjusting trim in shallow water or lifting the drive for maintenance.

The overall construction reflects the realities of boating—salt spray, vibration, long weekends on the water. This motor is designed for all of it.
