Frequently Asked Questions
What boats are these cables compatible with?
These 19ft control cables are compatible with Mercury and Mariner outboard engines that utilise Gen1 (Generation 1) remote control boxes. They fit a broad range of models from 1965 onwards, including various 2-stroke and 4-stroke engines. Please verify your existing control box is a Gen1 black Quicksilver/Mercury type.
Can this cable be used for both throttle and gear shift?
Yes, this C5 Gen1 remote control cable is designed to be versatile. Each cable can be used interchangeably for either the throttle function or the gear shift function on your outboard engine. If you need to replace both, you will need to purchase two cables.
How do I know if I need a 19ft cable?
The easiest way is to check the length stamped on your old cable. If no length is visible, measure your existing cable from tip to tip. Alternatively, for a new installation, measure the cable routing path from your control head to the engine connection, then add 3 feet and round up to the nearest foot to determine the required cable length.
What are the benefits of a lubricated stainless steel inner core?
A lubricated stainless steel inner core significantly reduces friction, ensuring exceptionally smooth and precise control of your throttle and gear. This construction also provides excellent corrosion resistance, extending the life of the cable in harsh marine environments and preventing stiffness over time.
Note: Please verify your vehicle model and year before purchasing.
