Performance & Practical Benefits

The 816311T Tie Strap might not be flashy, but it’s the kind of small part that makes a big difference. It keeps things organized and protected — no loose cables rattling around, no chafing against sharp edges. The strap’s material stays flexible in cold weather and doesn’t turn brittle under the sun, unlike cheap zip ties that crack halfway through the season.

Whether you’re re-rigging controls, cleaning up wiring, or strapping down a hose, this tie strap gives you a clean, factory look. You cinch it, trim the tail, and forget about it — it’ll hold tight no matter how rough the ride gets.

Why Buy OEM

Mercury designs even the smallest parts to live up to the same standards as their engines. The difference shows in the details: consistent strength, UV protection, and materials that last in a marine environment. Aftermarket ties often weaken in sunlight or lose their grip under vibration.

A genuine Quicksilver strap is built to last. It holds tight, doesn’t slip, and won’t crumble when exposed to fuel, oil, or salt spray. It’s a simple part done the right way.
