Your Mercury deserves better than cheap aftermarket parts that fail after one season. This genuine SOLENOID delivers the reliability your engine was built for.

Built with Mercury Marine’s precision engineering, this component ensures reliable operation across all engine RPM ranges. Part number 97685T is manufactured to exact Mercury Marine factory specifications for precision installation and optimal performance. Constructed from premium marine-grade materials designed to withstand harsh saltwater and freshwater environments.

Cut-rate alternatives might look similar, but they’re not engineered to Mercury’s exacting standards. Part 97685T delivers consistent performance because it’s built right — the same way Mercury does it at the factory.
