Why Choose Mercury OEM

The Quicksilver 44349A1 is an original Mercury Marine part, not a copy. It’s built and tested to meet real-world marine demands. Aftermarket options might look similar but often don’t meet SAE marine standards or use the same corrosion-resistant alloys.

When you go with Mercury OEM, you’re getting a part that fits right, lasts longer, and matches the quality of the rest of your setup. It’s one less thing to worry about when you’re on the water.
