Frequently Asked Questions
What boats are these control cables compatible with?
These 7ft (2.15m) Gen1 control cables are specifically designed for Mercury and Mariner 2-stroke and 4-stroke outboard engines that utilize Gen1 remote control systems. Please check your current remote model for Gen1 compatibility before ordering.
How can I tell if I need a Gen1 or Gen2 control cable?
Gen1 cables typically have a barrel-shaped stopper at the control box end, while Gen2 cables do not. If you have newer gray Mercury remotes, they are likely Gen2 and this cable will not be compatible. The engine end of both cable types is generally the same.
What are the benefits of a lubricated stainless-steel core?
A lubricated stainless-steel core significantly reduces friction, providing a smoother and more responsive feel to your gear shifts and throttle control. This design also enhances durability and extends the cable's lifespan by protecting against corrosion and wear in the harsh marine environment.
Note: Please verify your vehicle model and year before purchasing.
