It settles you in, clears your head, and lets you focus on the day ahead rather than the “what ifs.” That sense of reassurance is exactly what this Quicksilver starter brings. It feels solid, trustworthy, and built for the kind of everyday boating we all do — early mornings at the ramp, slow crawls along the shoreline, and long stretches chasing fish or simply chasing peace. When your gear sparks to life without hesitation, it changes the whole rhythm of your day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 data-start=\"699\" data-end=\"722\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"704\" data-end=\"720\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul data-start=\"723\" data-end=\"1145\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"723\" data-end=\"776\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"725\" data-end=\"776\"\u003eTwelve-volt permanent magnet direct drive starter\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"777\" data-end=\"867\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"779\" data-end=\"867\"\u003eBuilt with high-temperature epoxy armatures to help secure wiring and resist corrosion\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"868\" data-end=\"939\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"870\" data-end=\"939\"\u003eDesigned with durable copper bushings or heavy-duty needle bearings\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"940\" data-end=\"992\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"942\" data-end=\"992\"\u003eClockwise rotation with a nine-tooth gear design\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"993\" data-end=\"1057\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"995\" data-end=\"1057\"\u003eMeets Marine SAE J1171 certification for ignition protection\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1058\" data-end=\"1145\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1060\" data-end=\"1145\"\u003eReplaces Honda original equipment numbers including 31200-ZV5-003 and 31200-ZV5-013\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4 data-start=\"1147\" data-end=\"1185\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1152\" data-end=\"1183\"\u003eEngine \u0026amp; Boat Compatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul data-start=\"1186\" data-end=\"1455\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1186\" data-end=\"1248\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1188\" data-end=\"1248\"\u003eFits select Honda outboards rated from 35 to 50 horsepower\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1249\" data-end=\"1298\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1251\" data-end=\"1298\"\u003eCompatible with model years 1997 through 2014\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1299\" data-end=\"1395\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1301\" data-end=\"1395\"\u003eCommon on small fishing boats, utility skiffs, tiller-steer setups, and lightweight pontoons\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1396\" data-end=\"1455\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1398\" data-end=\"1455\"\u003eSuitable for both freshwater and saltwater environments\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4 data-start=\"1457\" data-end=\"1500\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1462\" data-end=\"1498\"\u003ePerformance \u0026amp; Practical Benefits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1501\" data-end=\"1932\"\u003eThis starter feels smooth and sure when it engages — no dragging, no weak crank, just a steady push that kicks the engine over cleanly. The permanent magnet design gives it strong, reliable torque, so it holds up well even on cool mornings or after long periods of idling and drifting. The internal construction is tight and secure, built to handle moisture, vibration, and the general punishment that comes with regular boating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1934\" data-end=\"2346\"\u003eYou’ll also notice how well it fits during installation. It seats naturally, lines up the way it should, and doesn’t require wrestling it into place. Once installed, it becomes one of those parts you stop thinking about because it simply does its job. And when you’re out on the water — especially in smaller boats where you feel every sound and movement — that steady, dependable start makes all the difference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 data-start=\"2348\" data-end=\"2370\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2353\" data-end=\"2368\"\u003eWhy Buy OEM\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2371\" data-end=\"2989\"\u003eGoing with a genuine Mercury Marine part is really about choosing peace of mind. These original equipment starters are engineered for exact fitment, long service life, and reliable performance season after season. They’re built to handle the unique demands of marine use, not just general power equipment conditions. Aftermarket parts may look close, but they rarely match the durability or the precision that an engine like yours deserves. If you were giving advice to a fellow boater at the dock, you’d probably say the same thing: a part that fits right the first time saves time, stress, and money in the long run.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 data-start=\"2991\" data-end=\"3003\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2996\" data-end=\"3003\"\u003eFAQ\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3005\" data-end=\"3141\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"3005\" data-end=\"3070\"\u003eQ1: Which engines does the Quicksilver 8M6007340 starter fit?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"3070\" data-end=\"3073\"\u003eIt’s made for Honda 35 to 50 horsepower outboards from 1997 to 2014.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3143\" data-end=\"3342\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"3143\" data-end=\"3204\"\u003eQ2: What makes this part better than aftermarket options?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"3204\" data-end=\"3207\"\u003eThe engineering, materials, and testing standards are higher.
