Performance & Practical Benefits

You can always tell when your steering fluid is doing its job — or when it isn’t. When it’s right, your wheel turns with a soft resistance, trim adjustments are quiet and quick, and the boat feels like an extension of your hand. That’s the experience Quicksilver Power Trim and Steering Fluid delivers.

It’s a premium hydraulic formula that resists foaming under pressure, keeping every motion steady and smooth. Even in rough conditions or during long runs, it holds its consistency, ensuring that your system stays responsive. The oxidation inhibitors prevent the fluid from breaking down over time, and the corrosion protection keeps your seals and hoses flexible, not brittle.

That smooth, confident feel at the helm — it starts here. Whether you’re chasing fish, cruising open bays, or easing into tight docks, this fluid keeps your control precise and predictable. It’s one of those behind-the-scenes details that separates a great day on the water from a frustrating one.

Why Buy OEM

There’s a big difference between “works fine” and “built for it.” Quicksilver OEM fluid is developed by the same engineers who design and test Mercury Marine power systems, which means every ounce is crafted to perform under the specific stresses of marine use. It’s been tested in real salt, real heat, and real-world vibration — not just in a lab.

Aftermarket fluids may claim compatibility, but Quicksilver ensures long-term reliability. You’ll get better protection for your seals, smoother steering, and fewer system issues over time. Think of it as the small, simple investment that keeps your boat handling like new, season after season.
