Performance & Practical Benefits

A strong ignition coil keeps your engine running tight, smooth, and steady—no misfires, no hesitation, no mysterious rough idle when you least expect it. With the 880615T01, spark energy remains consistent across the entire RPM range, which means quicker starts and cleaner acceleration.

Its pencil-style design tucks neatly into tight under-cowl spaces while still delivering excellent heat resistance. That matters on those long summer days when you are running hard from one spot to the next. The coil seats securely, resists moisture intrusion, and maintains its integrity even after seasons of vibration.

Real-world benefits you will feel include:

• Immediate throttle response
• Stronger ignition efficiency during cold starts
• Reduced engine stumble at idle
• Smoother running at cruising speeds
• Better overall dependability on long runs

In short, your outboard behaves exactly the way it was designed to—confident, controlled, and ready every time you hit the water.

Why Buy OEM

There is a simple reason seasoned boaters stick with Mercury OEM parts: they fit right, they last, and they protect the investment sitting on the back of the transom.

• Engineered by Mercury for Mercury—no guesswork, no compatibility surprises
• Designed for marine heat cycles and constant vibration
• Avoids premature failure common in cheaper aftermarket coils
• Helps maintain long-term fuel efficiency and overall engine health
• Backed by Mercury’s decades of engineering and on-water testing

If you want to avoid downtime and keep your outboard behaving exactly as it should, OEM is the way to go.
