Revive Your Classic Boat with a New Engine

Repower with Quicksilver Engines

Repowering with a Quicksilver Engine lets you keep the boat you love without breaking the bank.

They are specifically designed to replace sterndrive or inboard engines in boats built before 2010 that do not require emission control technology (2008 in California).

Which Engine Works with My Boat?

To be CARB and EPA compliant these engines may be installed in boats not originally equipped with Emission Control Technology (ETC) – generally boats sold pre-2008 in California and pre-2010 in other states. Use is unrestricted in Canada but may be restricted by regulation in some regions.
