Mercury – Platinum Plus Throttle and Shift Cable | 24 Ft | SAE Mechanical Control Cable | 8M0082596

The Mercury Platinum Plus throttle and shift cable is designed for Mercury SAE mechanical control systems where long helm-to-engine routing is required. The 24-foot length is commonly used on wide center consoles and boats with deeper layouts where shorter cables can introduce tight bends or excess strain. Platinum Plus construction reduces internal friction, helping maintain smooth, predictable throttle and shift response even over extended distances.

Selecting the correct OEM cable length plays an important role in long-term control performance. Proper sizing helps reduce internal resistance, prevent binding at connection points, and support reliable operation in demanding marine environments.

Key Features

• Platinum Plus Construction – Premium materials reduce internal friction for smoother control movement

Important Notes

• Designed specifically for SAE-style mechanical control systems.
• Avoid sharp bends, pinch points, and tight radii during installation.
• Verify full throttle and shift travel after installation.
• No electronic calibration required—standard mechanical adjustment only.

FAQs

1) What control systems is this cable designed for?
It is designed for Mercury SAE mechanical throttle and shift control systems.

2) When should I choose a 24-foot cable?
A 24-foot cable is ideal for longer helm-to-engine runs where clean routing helps prevent binding and uneven resistance.

3) What advantage does Platinum Plus construction offer?
Platinum Plus cables reduce internal friction and resist corrosion, helping maintain smooth operation and longer service life.

4) Can this cable be used with DTS or electronic controls?
No. This cable is for mechanical control systems only and is not compatible with DTS.

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