Condenser 8M6001249 is specifically designed for your MerCruiser engine made by Ford or General motors having a Prestolite conventional ignition system. Condensers for other engines will not function the same or as efficiently and could damage other components. A condenser prevents arc damage across the ignition points and prolongs the discharge of electricity through the coil.

Quicksilver is the premier supplier of Mercury Marine Original Equipment replacement engine parts, oils, and accessories, but also works to serve all Original Equipment brands in the marine and powersports industries.
