Mercury / MerCruiser Quicksilver Pressure Sensor — 8M0157742

The Mercury Quicksilver 8M0157742 is a genuine OEM water pressure sensor kit designed to monitor the engine cooling system water pressure on select Mercury and MerCruiser engines. It provides real-time pressure data to the engine’s monitoring system, helping detect cooling problems before overheating occurs.


Key Specifications

  • Part Number: 8M0157742

  • Type: Water pressure sensor

  • Pressure Range: 0–50 PSI

  • OEM Brand: Mercury Marine / Quicksilver

These applications typically use the sensor as part of the engine monitoring system to track cooling water pressure.


Function

The pressure sensor measures cooling water pressure in the engine block or cooling circuit and sends the reading to the engine control system or gauge.

This helps:

  • Monitor cooling system performance

  • Detect restricted water flow

  • Prevent engine overheating

  • Trigger alarms or warnings if pressure drops too low


Superseded / Cross-Reference Numbers

This sensor may replace earlier Mercury numbers such as:

  • 8M6000623

  • 8818793

  • 881879010


⚠️ Fitment Tip:
Always verify compatibility using the engine model and serial number. Mercury uses several pressure sensors with different PSI ranges depending on the cooling system and engine generation.
