Mercury – Platinum Plus Throttle and Shift Cable | 34 Ft | SAE Mechanical Control Cable | 8M0082604

The Mercury Platinum Plus throttle and shift cable is built for Mercury SAE mechanical control systems where smooth, dependable response is required across very long routing distances. Designed for large boats, wide-beam hulls, and complex helm-to-engine layouts, this 34-foot cable allows relaxed routing without tight bends or added resistance. Platinum Plus construction reduces internal friction, delivering a refined mechanical feel with steady throttle response and clean gear engagement at the helm.

Selecting the correct OEM cable length is especially important on extended runs. Proper routing helps minimize internal wear, prevent uneven resistance, and maintain reliable mechanical control performance over time.

Key Features

• Platinum Plus Construction – Reduced internal friction for smooth, consistent throttle and shift operation
• 34-Foot Length – Designed for very long helm-to-engine mechanical control routing
• Corrosion-Resistant Materials – Built to withstand vibration, moisture, and harsh marine environments
• SAE Mechanical Ends – Compatible with traditional Mercury SAE mechanical control systems

Engine & Boat Compatibility

• Mercury outboards using SAE mechanical control systems
• Large boats and wide-beam hulls
• Mechanical throttle and shift applications (non-electronic)

Important Notes

• Confirm required cable length before ordering to avoid binding or excess slack.
• Proper routing with smooth bends is critical to preserving control feel and cable longevity.
• Not compatible with DTS or electronic control systems.
• No electronic calibration is required—standard mechanical adjustment and verification of full throttle and shift travel should be performed after installation.

FAQs

1) What control systems is the 34-foot cable designed for?
It is designed for Mercury SAE mechanical throttle and shift control systems.

2) When should I choose a 34-foot throttle and shift cable?
A 34-foot cable is ideal for very large boats, offshore applications, or extended helm-to-engine layouts where shorter cables would be stretched or restricted.

3) What benefits does Platinum Plus construction provide?
Platinum Plus cables use premium materials and low-friction internal design to deliver smoother operation, longer service life, and more consistent control feel than standard mechanical cables.

4) Can this cable be used with electronic or DTS control systems?
No. This cable is intended only for traditional mechanical (SAE) control systems.

5) Is this a genuine Mercury OEM cable?
Yes. This is a genuine Mercury OEM Platinum Plus throttle and shift cable.
