Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Gen I remote control cable?
Gen I refers to Generation 1 marine control cables, commonly used with Mercury, Mariner, and MerCruiser engines and their corresponding Gen I control boxes. These cables have a specific barrel-shaped stopper at the control end, differentiating them from Gen II cables.
Can this cable be used for both throttle and gear shift?
Yes, this 12ft Gen I cable is designed for universal application, meaning it can be used interchangeably for either throttle or gear shift control on compatible outboard engines.
How do I know if I need a 12ft cable?
To determine the correct cable length, measure your existing cable from the control head to the engine connection point, then round up to the nearest foot and add 3 feet for proper routing and flexibility. Always verify the length of your old cable, which is often stamped on the outer casing.
Is this an OEM part?
This is a high-quality aftermarket replacement cable, engineered to meet or exceed OEM specifications for performance and durability, offering a cost-effective alternative to genuine Mercury parts.
Note: Please verify your vehicle model and year before purchasing.
