Frequently Asked Questions
What length control cable do I need?
For new installations, measure from the control head along an unobstructed path to the center of the outboard, then add four feet for the engine loop and round up to the next whole foot. For replacements, measure your old cable from tip to tip.
Is this cable compatible with my Mercury Generation II control box?
No, this is a C5/Gen 1 type control cable specifically designed for Mercury and Mariner Gen 1 remote controls. It is not suitable for Generation 2 (Gen II) control boxes, which typically have a different connection type.
Can I use this cable for both throttle and gear?
Yes, this C5 Gen 1 cable is designed to be universal and can be used interchangeably for either the throttle or gear application in your compatible control system.
