Mercury – Fuel Pump | Fuel System Component | Marine-Grade Construction | 8M6010287

Overview

Every seasoned boater knows the feeling—you turn the key, hear the engine catch, and that familiar two-stroke hum settles in. When your Evinrude or Johnson starts clean and runs steady, the whole day on the water just feels easier. But when a fuel pump begins to fade, you sense it right away: lazy starts, uneven throttle, a motor that doesn’t quite feel like itself. The Quicksilver 8M6010287 Fuel Pump brings that confidence back, restoring the smooth fuel delivery your outboard depends on from the first squeeze of the primer bulb to the moment you idle back to the dock.

Performance & Practical Benefits

A dependable fuel pump makes all the difference in how a two-stroke behaves. With the Quicksilver 8M6010287 installed, you’ll notice tighter, more responsive throttle control—especially during acceleration or when maneuvering at slow speeds around docks, trailers, or stumps. The engine breathes cleaner and runs steadier because it receives the correct fuel volume throughout the powerband.

This pump is engineered to handle the vibrations and heat that are simply part of running a two-stroke outboard. Whether you’re trolling long stretches of shoreline or opening up across the bay, the pump maintains a smooth, reliable flow that keeps the engine cool, fueled, and happy. And since it matches OEM specifications, it drops right into place with the precision fit you expect from a marine-grade Quicksilver component.

The result? A safer, more predictable motor that’s ready when you are—whether it’s the first launch of the season or the last ride before winter storage.

Why Buy OEM

When your outboard relies on a constant fuel supply, shortcuts can cost you more in the long run. An OEM-spec Quicksilver pump ensures the correct pressure, proper internal tolerances, and the long-term durability your engine was designed for. Aftermarket pumps may stumble on output consistency or wear prematurely, but this one gives you reliability you don’t have to second-guess. For boaters who simply want their motor to run right the first time—and keep running right—OEM quality is worth every bit.
