Frequently Asked Questions
What length control cable do I need for my outboard?
To determine the correct length, measure the distance from the control head to the clutch or throttle connection on your engine, round up to the nearest foot, and then add 3 feet for proper routing and connection. Always consult your engine manual for specific recommendations.
Is this cable suitable for both throttle and gear shift?
Yes, this Gen1 remote control cable is designed for universal application and can be used interchangeably for both throttle and gear shift functions on compatible Mercury and Mariner outboard engines.
What does "Gen1" mean for remote control cables?
"Gen1" (Generation 1) refers to a specific series of Mercury/Mariner remote control cables and their compatible control boxes. These are the original design fitment cables standard on many Mercury and Mercury-based Mariner engines until around 2010. It's crucial to match the cable generation to your control system for proper fitment.
