Frequently Asked Questions
What does "Gen1" mean for this control cable?
"Gen1" (Generation 1) refers to a specific design of Mercury/Mariner remote control systems. This cable is designed to fit these older style control boxes, typically distinguished by their black casing, as opposed to the newer "Gen2" cables which have a different end fitting and are often used with grey remote controls.
How do I know if this 20ft (6.05m) cable is the correct length for my boat?
To determine the correct length, measure your existing cable from tip to tip. If you don't have an old cable, measure the distance from the control box, along the planned cable route (allowing for bends), to the engine connection point. Round up to the nearest available standard length. It's always best to err on the side of slightly longer than too short.
Can this cable be used for both throttle and gear shift?
Yes, these Gen1 cables are universal and can be used for either throttle or gear shift applications on compatible Mercury and Mariner outboards. If you need to replace both, you will need to purchase two cables.
Note: Please verify your vehicle model and year before purchasing.
