How to Match This Part
This aftermarket throttle position sensor (TPS) replaces Mercury MerCruiser / Quicksilver 805226A1. It mounts on the throttle body and reports throttle-shaft angle to the ECM so fuel delivery and spark timing stay coordinated on EFI sterndrive and inboard engines.
Match this part in this order:
1. OEM number on the removed sensor — 805226A1 (also commonly cross-matched to Sierra 18-7630)
2. Engine family — MerCruiser MCM / MIE GM V-6 and V-8 EFI (305, 350, 454, and 502 CID)
3. Physical form — black molded housing, two-hole mounting flange, and a three-terminal electrical connector
Compare the flange holes, rotor/drive slot, and connector shape with the product images before ordering. If your original sensor carries a different OEM number or a different connector layout, do not use this part — other MerCruiser TPS numbers (for example later Mag / Black Scorpion sensors) are separate listings.

Installation Guide
- 1 Disconnect the battery negative cable and let the engine cool. Remove the flame arrestor if it blocks access to the throttle body.
- 2 Release the locking tab and unplug the three-terminal harness from the old sensor. Note how the connector is routed so the new lead is not strained against the throttle linkage.
- 3 Remove the two mounting screws and lift the sensor off the throttle shaft. Compare the old and new units side by side: flange holes, shaft coupling, and connector position must match.
- 4 Align the new sensor coupling with the throttle shaft, seat it fully against the throttle body, then fit the screws and tighten evenly to the torque in your MerCruiser service manual. Reuse the original screws unless they are corroded or damaged.
- 5 Reconnect the harness until the lock clicks, refit the flame arrestor, and reconnect the battery. If your service manual specifies a TPS voltage check or idle reset, follow that procedure with a digital multimeter or the manufacturer diagnostic tool.
- 6 Start the engine, let it idle, and open and close the throttle slowly while checking for smooth response and no stored fault codes.
Note: Professional installation is recommended for EFI throttle-body sensors.
