Mercury – Gen II Throttle and Shift | 13 Ft | Mechanical Control Cable | 8M0085110

The Mercury Gen II throttle and shift cable is designed for Mercury mechanical control systems that require additional reach from the helm to the engine. It is commonly used on wider consoles, deeper dashboards, or layouts where extra length helps avoid tight bends and forced routing. The 13-foot length provides added flexibility while maintaining a clean, properly supported cable path for dependable everyday operation.

Maintaining control cables in good condition supports smoother throttle response and more predictable shifting. Clean routing, proper adjustment, and routine inspection help reduce stiffness, uneven movement, and unnecessary wear, supporting consistent control feel over time in mechanical control systems.

Key Features

• Gen II Mechanical Cable Design – Supports smooth, consistent throttle and shift movement
• 13-Foot Cable Length – Ideal for longer control runs and wider helm layouts
• Low-Friction Inner Core – Helps maintain even control effort at the helm
• Mercury OEM Construction – Designed for reliable response and long service life
• Throttle & Shift Cable – Supports combined throttle and gear selection through one cable

Engine & Boat Compatibility

• Mercury outboards with Gen II mechanical control systems
• Mechanical throttle and shift control applications
• Wider consoles and extended helm-to-engine layouts

Important Notes

• Designed only for Gen II mechanical control systems
• Cable length must be selected based on actual routing path
• Proper routing and adjustment are required for full throttle and shift travel

FAQs

1) What control systems does this cable work with?
This cable is designed specifically for Mercury Gen II mechanical throttle and shift control systems.

2) Is this cable for throttle only or shift only?
No. It supports both throttle and shift operation through a single mechanical control cable.

3) When should I choose a 13-foot cable?
The 13-foot length is ideal for wider consoles or layouts that need extra reach without creating tight bends or excess slack.

4) What happens if the cable length is incorrect?
An incorrect length can cause stiffness, poor routing, or reduced control smoothness, which may affect throttle and shift performance.

5) Can this cable be used with Gen I controls?
No. Gen I control systems require different cable specifications and are not compatible with Gen II cables.
