Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Gen1 control cable?
Gen1 (Generation 1) refers to a specific design of remote control cable commonly used with older Mercury, Mariner, and MerCruiser engines. It is essential to ensure your control box is also Gen1 compatible, typically identifiable by a black casing.
How do I know what length control cable I need?
To determine the correct length, you can measure your existing cable from tip to tip and round up to the nearest foot. Alternatively, measure the unobstructed cable run from your control head to the engine connection, add three to four feet for the loop to allow for engine movement, and then round up.
Can this cable be used for both throttle and gear shift?
Yes, this 15ft Gen1 control cable is designed for dual application, meaning it can be used interchangeably for both throttle control and gear shift functions on compatible Mercury and Mariner outboards.
