Mercury – Gen II Throttle and Shift | 23 Ft | Mechanical Control Cable | 8M0085122

The Mercury Gen II throttle and shift cable is designed for Mercury mechanical control systems that require additional routing length without creating excess slack or forced bends. It is commonly used on larger consoles where clean cable runs play an important role in long-term reliability. The 23-foot length provides the extra reach needed for wide helm layouts while keeping the control system relaxed and properly supported.

Selecting the correct cable length helps reduce friction, prevent binding, and maintain consistent throttle and shift response. Replacing worn or undersized cables restores smooth operation and helps protect the control system from unnecessary strain over time.

Key Features

• Gen II Mechanical Cable Design – Delivers smooth, consistent throttle and shift response
• 23-Foot Cable Length – Allows relaxed routing on large helm layouts
• Low-Friction Inner Core – Keeps control effort even and predictable
• Mercury OEM Construction – Designed for durability and consistent performance
• 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
• Large consoles and extended helm-to-engine layouts

Important Notes

• Designed only for Gen II mechanical control systems
• Always verify required cable length before ordering
• 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 used for both throttle and shift?
Yes. This is a combined throttle and shift control cable.

3) When should I choose a 23-foot cable?
A 23-foot cable is ideal for larger consoles or layouts that need additional reach without excess slack or tight bends.

4) What happens if the cable length is incorrect?
Incorrect cable length can cause binding, increased resistance, or poor routing, which may negatively affect throttle and shift performance.

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