Mercury – Quicksilver 817019Q2 Trim Cylinder Trailering Clips | MerCruiser Sterndrives | Set of 2 | 817019Q2

Overview

Keep your drive protected every time you trailer your boat. The Quicksilver 817019Q2 Trim Cylinder Trailering Clips are a quick, no-tools solution to safely support your MerCruiser sterndrive while transporting your boat. These bright red/orange clips snap over the trim cylinder rams to hold the drive securely in its trimmed-out position — preventing bounce, stress, and unnecessary strain on your hydraulics.

They’re tough, lightweight, and designed to fit snugly on your rams. And because of their bright color, you’ll never forget to remove them before launching.

Performance & Practical Benefits

Trailering puts a lot of stress on your drive’s trim system. The 817019Q2 clips take that pressure off by supporting the weight of the drive on the rams, not the hydraulic seals. They prevent the drive from bouncing while you’re towing, protecting both the transom and the internal components of your sterndrive.

Installation takes seconds — just trim up the drive, snap the clips onto the rams, and lower the drive gently until it rests on them. The bright color acts as a clear reminder to remove them before launching, saving you from costly mistakes. It’s a small addition that makes trailering safer and easier.

Why Buy OEM

Mercury’s OEM accessories are made to fit and function perfectly with your MerCruiser equipment. Aftermarket clips may be too tight or too loose, or made from inferior materials that can crack or deform over time.

A genuine Quicksilver trailering clip set gives you factory-tested quality and peace of mind every time you tow. Designed by the same engineers who built your drive, it’s protection you can count on.
