Mercury MerCruiser Quicksilver Choke Rod Clip 89668
Clip 89668, also listed as Mercury service number 54-89668, retains the choke rod in select carburetor choke-linkage assemblies. If the choke rod will not stay connected, check the retaining clip and linkage before replacing larger carburetor components.
Compatible Applications
- Select carbureted 5.0L and 5.7L MerCruiser V8 engines
- Select 350 MAG Alpha applications
- Select carbureted 7.4L and 8.2L MerCruiser V8 and MIE inboard engines
- Select 454 MAG Bravo and 502 MAG Bravo applications
Coverage depends on engine serial number and carburetor or choke configuration. Confirm number 89668 on the applicable choke-linkage parts diagram; displacement alone is not enough to establish fitment.

Technical FAQ
Will this clip fit every carbureted MerCruiser V8? No. Match the engine serial number and choke assembly diagram to service number 54-89668.
