Mercury – Platinum Plus Throttle and Shift Cable | 31 Ft | SAE Mechanical Control Cable | 8M0082603

The Mercury Platinum Plus throttle and shift cable is designed for Mercury SAE mechanical control systems where smooth, consistent response is required over very long routing distances. Built for large boats and extended console-to-engine layouts, this 31-foot cable allows relaxed routing without tight bends or added resistance. Platinum Plus construction reduces internal friction, delivering a refined mechanical feel with predictable throttle response and clean gear engagement at the helm.

Choosing the correct OEM cable length is critical on long runs. Proper routing helps reduce 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 movement
• 31-Foot Length – Designed for extra-long helm-to-engine routing paths
• 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 essential for maintaining 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 this 31-foot cable designed for?
It is designed for Mercury SAE mechanical throttle and shift control systems.

2) When should I choose a 31-foot control cable?
A 31-foot cable is ideal for very large boats, offshore layouts, or extended helm-to-engine distances where shorter cables would be stretched.

3) What makes Platinum Plus cables different from standard mechanical cables?
Platinum Plus cables use premium materials and low-friction construction for smoother operation, longer service life, and more consistent control feel.

4) Can this cable be used with electronic or DTS controls?
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.
