The Mercury Cowl Holddown #817708 is the OEM replacement clip that keeps your outboard's cowl locked down tight where it belongs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGenuine Mercury Marine parts like this are engineered to the same specs as what came on your engine from the factory. Aftermarket clips might look similar, but fit and retention force vary — and a cowl that pops loose on the water is more than just an annoyance. This is the part Mercury dealers stock for a reason.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt under a quarter pound, it ships fast and installs in minutes with basic hand tools. If you're doing a cowl repair, engine service, or just replacing a clip that's cracked or gone missing, the 817708 is a straightforward fix that gets your outboard looking and functioning like it should.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenuine OEM Mercury Marine cowl holddown clip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirect replacement for Mercury outboards using part #817708\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnsures secure cowl latching and a rattle-free fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLightweight at ~0.15 lbs — fast shipping\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInstalls with basic hand tools\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNormalized SKU:\u003c\/b\u003e 817708\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eUPC Code:\u003c\/b\u003e 745061734777\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mercury Marine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53399430791473,"sku":"MRC-817708","price":76.65,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0015\/7184\/8291\/files\/mercury-cowl-hold-down-817708-745061734777-1230832115.jpg?v=1775046044","url":"https:\/\/www.firstchoicemarine.com\/products\/mercury-cowl-holddown-817708","provider":"First Choice Marine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
