Performance & Practical Benefits

This starter packs the kind of torque that mid-to-large outboards demand. Thanks to its gear reduction design, it delivers powerful cranking force while staying efficient and smooth. From cold starts at the marina to hot restarts after hours of running, you’ll notice how quickly the engine catches — a tight, confident spin that feels secure and controlled.

Inside, the construction is built for real marine conditions. The epoxy-coated armatures defend against corrosion, moisture, and engine compartment heat, while the bearings or bushings keep the rotation smooth under repeated use. Whether your boat lives in a salt-heavy environment or travels between lakes and rivers, this starter stands up to the wear and tear.

Installation is straightforward due to its OEM-aligned geometry. Most owners can swap starters with minimal effort, and once installed, it becomes a part you don’t have to think about — the kind of quiet, dependable component that just does its job year after year.

Why Buy OEM

Boat owners who’ve spent years on the water tend to agree: cheap aftermarket starters rarely hold up in demanding marine conditions. OEM parts like the Quicksilver 8M6007355 are engineered specifically for durability, torque consistency, corrosion resistance, and proper fitment. They last longer, protect your engine’s electrical system, and reduce the risk of unexpected failures. Choosing OEM isn’t just about buying a part — it’s about investing in reliability, safety, and fewer headaches over the life of your outboard.
