Mercury – Quicksilver Forward Gear Set | Sterndrive Drivetrain Component | Heat-Treated Steel | 14063A1

Overview

You can tell a lot about a drive by how it feels when you throttle forward. When it’s right, the shift is smooth, the sound is clean, and the power feels direct. The Mercury Marine 14063A1 Quicksilver Forward Gear Set brings that feel back to your MerCruiser Bravo One or Bravo One X sterndrive. Each gear is precision-cut and heat-treated to handle heavy torque without chatter or wear. It’s the kind of solid, mechanical connection that makes your boat respond instantly — exactly the way it should.

Performance & Practical Benefits

When the gears in your Bravo drive are worn, you feel it — the shift clunks, the noise increases, and your throttle response loses that tight, connected feel. The 14063A1 Forward Gear Set fixes that. The gears are cut to exact Mercury tolerances, so they mesh perfectly and deliver power quietly and efficiently.

The heat-treated steel is built for endurance, withstanding long hours, high RPMs, and repeated stress without losing its bite. Once installed, shifting feels crisp and immediate again. You’ll notice quieter operation, cleaner acceleration, and a smoother ride — everything your MerCruiser was designed to deliver when it was new.

Why Buy OEM

Gear sets are one of those parts where precision really matters. Aftermarket gears may look right, but even the smallest error in tooth profile or hardness can cause vibration, noise, or premature failure. The Quicksilver 14063A1 is a genuine Mercury Marine part, engineered to exact factory specs for your Bravo drive.

Mercury’s gears are tested under real load, not just in a lab. They’re hardened for strength, machined for accuracy, and balanced for smoothness. That’s what keeps your powertrain quiet and your prop turning with confidence. When you install OEM, you’re not just replacing a part — you’re restoring performance.
