Frequently Asked Questions
When should I replace my boat's control cables?
You should consider replacing your control cables if you notice stiff or hard-to-move controls, jerky or inconsistent movements, visible wear or corrosion on the cables, or a delayed response from your engine when operating the throttle or shifter. Regular inspection is key to preventative maintenance.
What is a Gen I control cable and how do I know if I need one?
Gen I (Generation I) refers to a specific type of control cable connection predominantly used on Mercury, Mariner, and MerCruiser engines and control boxes from 1965 up to approximately 2010. If your boat's engine and control system are from this era and do not use the newer '4000 series' or Gen II controls, a Gen I cable is likely what you need. Always verify the connector type visually or by cross-referencing OEM part numbers.
Are these cables suitable for both throttle and gear shift?
Yes, this 14ft Gen I control cable is designed for dual application, meaning it can be used interchangeably for both your boat's throttle control and gear (shift) control, providing flexibility for your replacement needs.
