Questions & Answers

Is this a genuine original part?

This is a premium quality aftermarket replacement part, manufactured to meet or exceed original equipment (OE) standards for fitment and performance.

How do I know if it is compatible?

Check the end of your existing cable. Gen1 cables have a distinct barrel-shaped stopper at the control end. If your control box is a newer "Gen 2" (typically 4000 series), you will need C36/Gen2 cables instead.

Can these be used for both throttle and gear shift?

Yes, for most Mercury/Mariner outboard applications, the throttle and gear cables are identical in type and length, which is why they are sold here as a matched pair.

Note: Please verify your original cable length (printed on the jacket) before purchasing to ensure 13ft is the correct fit for your boat's routing.
