Overview

Protect your drive and transom every time you trailer your boat. The Quicksilver 817019T2 Trim Cylinder Trailering Clips snap securely onto your MerCruiser trim cylinder rams, holding your outdrive in a supported position while the boat is on the trailer.

Made from tough red/orange composite plastic, these clips prevent your trim rams from carrying the full weight of the drive during transport — a simple, lightweight safeguard that helps extend the life of your trim system. The bright color also makes them easy to see, reminding you to remove them before launching.

Performance & Practical Benefits

The 817019T2 clips protect your trim cylinders by taking the load off their internal seals and hydraulics during transport. By holding the drive slightly raised, they prevent bounce and strain on the transom when you hit bumps or rough roads.

Installation takes seconds — simply slide each clip over the exposed trim ram once the drive is raised. They stay locked in place until you’re ready to remove them. The bright color makes them hard to miss, so you’ll remember to take them off before launching. Small, simple, and effective — exactly what you need for trailering peace of mind.

Why Buy OEM

Mercury’s OEM accessories are designed to fit perfectly with their drives and tested under real conditions. Aftermarket clips might not lock securely or could be made from weaker materials that deform over time.

A genuine Quicksilver set ensures proper fit, strength, and visibility — giving your trim system the same level of protection Mercury engineers intended.
