Questions & Answers
Is this a genuine original part?
This is a premium quality replacement part designed to meet or exceed Mercury Marine OEM standards for fitment and performance.
How do I know if it is compatible?
We recommend checking the SKU/MPN and Cross Reference list provided above. This cable is specifically for Generation I controls. If your control box is a newer Gen II (typically 2003+), you will require a different cable (8M0082540).
How do I measure for the correct length?
Measure the existing cable from tip to tip. If the cable is still installed, measure the distance from the control box to the engine, following the routing path, and round up to the next whole foot.
