For many boaters, that reliable start is the quiet reassurance that the day is already off to a good beginning. The Quicksilver 8M6007341 starter captures that feeling perfectly. It’s steady, predictable, and built for the type of everyday boating where you want your motor ready to go without fuss — whether you’re slipping into a narrow creek or heading out for a slow morning troll.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 data-start=\"688\" data-end=\"711\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"693\" data-end=\"709\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul data-start=\"712\" data-end=\"1092\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"712\" data-end=\"765\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"714\" data-end=\"765\"\u003eTwelve-volt permanent magnet direct drive starter\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"766\" data-end=\"829\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"768\" data-end=\"829\"\u003eCounter clockwise rotation with an eleven-tooth gear design\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"830\" data-end=\"910\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"832\" data-end=\"910\"\u003eBuilt with high-temperature epoxy armatures to strengthen and protect wiring\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"911\" data-end=\"977\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"913\" data-end=\"977\"\u003eFeatures durable copper bushings or heavy-duty needle bearings\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"978\" data-end=\"1035\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"980\" data-end=\"1035\"\u003eDesigned for long service life in marine environments\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1036\" data-end=\"1092\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1038\" data-end=\"1092\"\u003eMeets Marine SAE J1171 ignition protection standards\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4 data-start=\"1094\" data-end=\"1132\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1099\" data-end=\"1130\"\u003eEngine \u0026amp; Boat Compatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul data-start=\"1133\" data-end=\"1395\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1133\" data-end=\"1188\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1135\" data-end=\"1188\"\u003eFits Honda outboards rated from 8 to 9.9 horsepower\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1189\" data-end=\"1238\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1191\" data-end=\"1238\"\u003eCompatible with model years 2001 through 2014\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1239\" data-end=\"1328\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1241\" data-end=\"1328\"\u003eCommon on dinghies, tenders, small fishing boats, jon boats, and lightweight pontoons\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1329\" data-end=\"1395\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1331\" data-end=\"1395\"\u003eSuitable for both freshwater lakes and saltwater coastal areas\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4 data-start=\"1397\" data-end=\"1440\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1402\" data-end=\"1438\"\u003ePerformance \u0026amp; Practical Benefits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1441\" data-end=\"1794\"\u003eFor smaller outboards, the quality of the starter makes a big difference in how the engine feels during those first seconds. This one engages cleanly with a crisp, sure motion that doesn’t waver or drag. Its permanent magnet design gives it the torque needed to turn your motor confidently, even after long periods of storage or during colder weather.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1796\" data-end=\"2259\"\u003eThe corrosion-resistant materials and tight internal tolerances help the starter handle moisture, spray, and vibration — the everyday realities of time spent on the water. The fit is straightforward, sliding into place naturally without the awkward angles or adjustments that sometimes come with aftermarket parts. Once installed, it becomes one of those dependable pieces of equipment you don’t think about again because it simply does its job trip after trip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2261\" data-end=\"2515\"\u003eThat smooth, steady start also helps your engine run better from the moment it wakes up, reducing strain and giving you more consistent performance throughout the day. For boaters who use their smaller outboards often, that dependability goes a long way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 data-start=\"2517\" data-end=\"2539\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2522\" data-end=\"2537\"\u003eWhy Buy OEM\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2540\" data-end=\"3105\"\u003eWhen you’re working with smaller engines, precision matters even more. A genuine Mercury Marine part like this one is engineered to match the original design perfectly, providing clean fitment and long-term reliability. Aftermarket starters might look similar, but they often miss the mark when it comes to torque strength, corrosion resistance, and lifespan. Using a real Mercury Marine part means fewer surprises and less time troubleshooting. It’s the kind of advice seasoned boaters pass along without hesitation: choose OEM and you’ll save yourself the hassle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 data-start=\"3107\" data-end=\"3119\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"3112\" data-end=\"3119\"\u003eFAQ\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3121\" data-end=\"3251\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"3121\" data-end=\"3186\"\u003eQ1: Which engines does the Quicksilver 8M6007341 starter fit?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"3186\" data-end=\"3189\"\u003eIt fits Honda 8 to 9.9 horsepower outboards from 2001 to 2014.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3253\" data-end=\"3428\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"3253\" data-end=\"3313\"\u003eQ2: What makes this different from aftermarket starters?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"3313\" data-end=\"3316\"\u003eThe build quality, torque strength, and marine-grade durability are all higher, giving you more reliable starts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3430\" data-end=\"3607\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"3430\" data-end=\"3487\"\u003eQ3: How do I know if this is the correct replacement?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"3487\" data-end=\"3490\"\u003eCheck your manual or your existing starter for part number 8M6007341 or the related Honda original equipment numbers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3609\" data-end=\"3753\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"3609\" data-end=\"3665\"\u003eQ4: Can it be used in both saltwater and freshwater?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"3665\" data-end=\"3668\"\u003eAbsolutely.
