Quicksilver Power Trim & Steering Fluid – Hydraulic Oil for Trim and Steering Systems (8 oz / 32 oz)

Quicksilver Power Trim & Steering Fluid is a dependable hydraulic oil formulated to keep your boat’s trim and steering systems operating at peak performance. Over time or heavy use, hydraulic systems can lose fluid or become contaminated, but with this universal fluid you can easily top off or replace your system’s oil without compatibility concerns. The special Quicksilver formulation safeguards internal components – pumps, cylinders, seals, and hoses – from premature wear and failure. It minimizes the formation of air bubbles (foaming), ensuring precise steering control and consistent trim responsiveness. Additionally, corrosion inhibitors within the fluid protect metal components from rust, even in humid marine environments or during long periods of inactivity.

With Quicksilver’s reputation as a leading marine lubricant manufacturer, this product meets the stringent OEM specifications of Mercury Marine. It is NMMA-certified and recommended for use in:

• Outboard hydraulic trim and steering systems (Mercury, Mariner, Yamaha, and other brands), as well as
• MerCruiser Sterndrive tilt/trim systems and hydraulic steering on inboard engines.

Usage guidelines and recommendations:

• Routine Maintenance: It’s wise to check your hydraulic fluid level periodically. If you notice your trim or steering responding sluggishly or hear the pump whine, it may be time to add or change fluid. Quicksilver Power Trim & Steering fluid is ideal for annual hydraulic oil changes, often done at the start or end of the boating season to maintain peak performance.
• Easy Top-Off: Because of its universal compatibility, you can confidently add Quicksilver fluid to your existing system fluid without worrying about harmful mixing. However, for best results, a full system flush and refill with Quicksilver fluid is recommended when performing major service.
• Practical Packaging: The 8 oz (237 ml) bottle is compact and easy to stow on board – perfect as an emergency supply for unexpected needs while out on the water. The 32 oz (946 ml) bottle is more economical and suited for complete fluid replacements or for owners maintaining multiple boats/engines regularly.
• Wide Temperature Range: This fluid remains stable and effective across a broad temperature range, ensuring your steering and trim operate smoothly on hot summer days and in cooler weather at the fringes of the boating season. You’ll get consistent performance without fade or stiffness due to temperature changes.
• Safety & Compatibility: This product is not intended for use in specialized electric power steering systems that require specific synthetic fluids – always consult your owner’s manual for any unique requirements. For standard hydraulic helm and trim systems, however, Quicksilver Power Trim & Steering Fluid meets or exceeds industry standards, making it a smart and reliable choice to keep on hand.
