Overview

There’s a certain comfort that comes with knowing your engine is being cared for the right way. When you’re rinsing the salt out after a long morning of chasing a tide line or wrapping up a weekend ride with friends, you want the flush to be simple, steady, and dependable. That’s exactly the feeling this Mercury Marine part delivers. The Quicksilver Dual Water Pickup Flush Seal Kit gives you the quiet confidence that your gear case is sealing the way it should — so you can focus on the water, not what might be happening inside your lower unit.

Flushing is one of those rituals every boater knows well. When the seal fits tight and the water flows cleanly, you can almost feel the tension leave your shoulders. It’s the small, reliable pieces like this that make owning a Mercury engine feel effortless.

Performance & Practical Benefits

This flush seal kit does one simple thing, but it does it exceptionally well: it holds a tight, steady seal so your engine gets the fresh water it needs after every run. That clean water flow helps protect your cooling system, extend the life of internal components, and keep your engine running the way Mercury intended. There’s no wobbling, no guesswork, and no need to fight the hose while trying to line everything up.

You’ll feel the difference the first time you use it. The seal sits firmly against the front water intake ports, and the retention strap keeps everything in place while you flush. It’s the kind of part that just works — smooth, secure, and consistent — even after seasons of use. For boaters who take their maintenance seriously, that kind of reliability matters.

Why Buy OEM

Choosing an original Mercury Marine part is like choosing a tool you know you’ll never have to second-guess. It fits right the first time, it lasts, and it’s built with the same engineering standards as the engine it protects. Aftermarket pieces often look similar, but they rarely match the feel and precision of an OEM component.

With part number 881150Q1, you’re getting something proven, predictable, and built specifically for your engine. It’s cost-effective in the long run because you’re not dealing with trial-and-error replacements or worrying about whether your engine is being flushed properly. It’s just solid, dependable gear you can trust day after day.
