Frequently Asked Questions
What are the signs that my control cables need replacing?
Common signs include stiff or hard-to-move controls, jerky or inconsistent throttle/gear movements, visible wear, cracking, or corrosion on the cable jacket, and delayed response from your engine when shifting or accelerating.
Can this 13ft cable be used for both throttle and gear shift?
Yes, this Generation 1 control cable is designed to be interchangeable and can be used for either the throttle or gear shift function on compatible Mercury and Mariner outboard engines.
How do I determine the correct length of control cable for my boat?
To determine the length, measure the distance from your remote control box to the engine connection point. It's generally recommended to measure from tip to tip of your existing cable and round up to the nearest whole foot. Ensure you account for any bends or turns in the cable run.
