Performance & Real-World Benefits

The 802196Q connector keeps fuel moving the way it should — clean, steady, and sealed tight. Older fittings can loosen, corrode, or start to leak, letting air into the line and causing rough running or stalling. This OEM replacement restores a factory-quality connection that stays secure under vibration and fuel pressure.

It’s a small part that takes only minutes to install but makes a big difference in how reliably your engine performs. Quick to connect, easy to disconnect, and tough enough for seasons of use — this is one of those simple upgrades that keeps your boat running right.

Why Choose Mercury OEM

The Quicksilver 802196Q is a genuine Mercury Marine part, precision-built to fit perfectly and last in harsh marine conditions. Cheaper fittings can look similar but often use softer materials that wear out faster or don’t hold a proper seal.

Mercury OEM fittings are tested under real-world pressure, vibration, and ethanol exposure to guarantee reliability. It’s the same quality Mercury installs in its new engines — proven, tough, and built to keep you on the water, not in the shop.
