Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Gen1 control cable?
Gen1 (Generation I) refers to the original design fitment of remote control cables for Mercury and Mercury-based Mariner outboard engines. These cables were standard on most models until approximately 2010.
How do I know if I need a 6ft (1.85m) cable?
The length of the control cable is crucial. You should measure your existing cable from tip to tip or measure the distance from your control box to the engine, allowing for any bends and loops. Old cables often have their length stamped on the outer casing.
Can this cable be used for both throttle and gear shift?
Yes, this Gen1 cable is designed for dual application, meaning it can be used interchangeably for both throttle control and gear shift control, depending on your engine's setup.
What are the benefits of upgrading my control cables?
Upgrading to a new, high-quality control cable significantly improves responsiveness and precision in throttle and gear changes. It reduces stiffness or stickiness, enhancing safety and making your boat easier and more enjoyable to operate.
