Frequently Asked Questions
What length control cable do I need for my boat?
To determine the correct length, measure your existing cable from the control head to the engine connection point, then round up to the nearest foot or the closest available length for optimal routing. It's often recommended to add a few feet for flexibility during installation.
How do I know if I have a Gen 1 or Gen 2 control cable?
Gen 1 cables typically have a barrel-shaped stopper at the control box end, while Gen 2 cables do not. The engine end of both cable types is generally the same. Always check your existing cable's appearance and compare it to product images.
Is this cable suitable for both throttle and gear shifting?
Yes, this C5 Gen 1 control cable is designed for both throttle and gear shift applications, providing precise control for both functions.
