How to Match This Part

This aftermarket low oil pressure switch replaces MerCruiser / Quicksilver 87-805605A1. It threads into an oil-gallery boss on MerCruiser sterndrive and inboard engines and sends a signal to the audio warning system when oil pressure falls too low.

Match this part in this order:
1. OEM number on the removed switch or in your parts catalog (87-805605A1, 38559, 817169, or F708940)
2. Engine family and displacement — MerCruiser sterndrive or inboard calling for this switch in the 3.0L–7.4L range
3. Thread and terminal — 1/8-27 male pipe thread with a single 10-32 stud terminal

Identify the form from the product images: zinc-plated tapered body, black insulator cap, single brass stud with nut and lock washer, and reddish-brown thread sealant on the male pipe threads. If your original unit has two terminals, a spade connector, or is a variable-resistance gauge sender rather than an alarm switch, it is a different component.

Part Number Cross-Reference

Use this table to confirm equivalent part numbers across OEM and aftermarket brands. Mercury also catalogs the same switch without the leading prefix as 805605A1.

Type Brand Part Number Notes
OEM Mercury MerCruiser / Quicksilver 87-805605A1 Current switch assembly; also listed as 805605A1
OEM Mercury MerCruiser 38559 Superseded by 805605A1

Aftermarket Sierra OP22900 Direct aftermarket replacement

Part numbers are listed for identification only. This is an aftermarket part manufactured by JLM Marine and is not sold as a genuine Mercury or MerCruiser component.

Compatible Engine Models

Confirm your engine model and serial number before ordering. On MerCruiser sterndrive and inboard engines, the identification plate and serial number are on the engine itself — typically on the cylinder block or flame-arrestor cover — not on an outboard transom bracket. Cross-check with the Mercury Parts Diagrams for your MerCruiser engine group.

This switch serves the low oil pressure audio warning circuit. It is not the variable-resistance sender that drives an oil pressure gauge.

Installation Guide

1

Allow the engine to cool fully. Disconnect the battery negative cable before working on the warning circuit.

2

Label and remove the warning-system wire from the old switch stud. Unscrew the old switch and compare its thread and terminal to this 1/8-27 / 10-32 unit. Do not force a mismatched thread.

3

Thread the new switch in by hand on the sealed pipe threads, then tighten snugly with the correct wrench on the body hex — do not over-torque or crush the insulator.

4

Reconnect the warning wire under the 10-32 stud nut with the lock washer in place. Reconnect the battery, start the engine, and confirm the alarm clears as oil pressure builds and that there are no oil leaks at the port.

If you are unsure about warning-system wiring or oil-gallery location, have a marine technician complete the install.

Troubleshooting & FAQ

Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?+

This is an aftermarket JLM Marine replacement matched to MerCruiser 87-805605A1 form and thread. It is not a genuine Mercury or MerCruiser part.

Will this work with my oil pressure gauge?+

No. This is an on/off alarm switch for the audio warning circuit, not a variable-resistance gauge sender. Engines that use both a gauge sender and an alarm switch need the correct switch for the alarm circuit.

My old switch has a different thread — will this fit?+

Only if the port is 1/8-27 male pipe thread and the wiring uses a single 10-32 stud. Compare the removed switch before ordering.

Alarm stays on or never sounds after install — what next?+

Recheck the stud connection and ground path through the engine block, confirm oil level and actual oil pressure, and verify you replaced the alarm switch rather than the gauge sender. Persistent faults can be wiring, the buzzer module, or a real lubrication issue.
