Overview
Reliable ignition starts with the right connection. The Quicksilver 816761Q13 Spark Plug Wire Kit keeps your 3.0L and LX MerCruiser engines (1990–1995) running smooth and firing strong. Designed for Delco digital ignition systems, this OEM wire set ensures clean spark delivery, steady idle, and long-term reliability in real marine conditions.
Each wire is precision-cut to the exact length your engine needs, with snug-fitting boots that keep moisture out and the spark where it belongs. Built to Mercury’s high standards, it’s a simple upgrade that helps your boat start easy and perform like it should.

Performance & Practical Benefits
The 816761Q13 kit keeps your ignition system firing efficiently, reducing misfires and improving throttle response. With low-resistance wire cores, it delivers full spark energy to every cylinder, giving you smoother idle, better fuel economy, and quicker starts.
The heavy-duty insulation stands up to marine heat and moisture, while the boots seal tight to prevent corrosion. Each wire is cut to fit, so installation is straightforward — swap them out one at a time, and you’ll be back on the water with reliable spark and clean power.
Why Buy OEM
Mercury’s OEM plug wires are purpose-built for marine use — not repurposed automotive parts. Every Quicksilver set is tested for correct resistance, flexibility, and insulation integrity under real-world conditions. Aftermarket versions often lack the proper fit or use lower-grade insulation that fails early in the marine environment.
With genuine Quicksilver wires, you’re getting the exact fit and performance Mercury intended, along with the durability to handle years of heat, vibration, and salt exposure.
