Mercury – Platinum Plus Throttle and Shift Cable | 23 Ft | Mechanical Engine Control | 8M0082595

The Mercury Platinum Plus throttle and shift cable is designed for Mercury SAE mechanical control systems where smooth, predictable response is required over longer helm-to-engine routing distances. The 23-foot (7.0 m) length is ideal for larger boats and extended console layouts where clean routing helps prevent binding, stiffness, and uneven control feel. Platinum Plus construction reduces internal friction while maintaining a direct mechanical connection between the helm and engine.

This cable is commonly selected when replacing worn, stiff, or undersized mechanical cables on longer installations. Using the correct OEM length helps preserve consistent throttle response, clean gear engagement, and dependable long-term performance without converting to electronic controls.

From a maintenance perspective, Platinum Plus cables help reduce internal wear and corrosion-related resistance. Smoother cable movement lowers strain on control boxes and linkages, supporting predictable helm feel and extended service life.

FAQs

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

2) When should I choose a 23-foot cable?
A 23-foot cable is ideal for extended helm-to-engine runs where proper routing helps prevent binding and uneven resistance.

3) What is the benefit of Platinum Plus construction?
Platinum Plus cables reduce internal friction and resist corrosion, helping maintain smoother operation and longer service life.

4) Is this cable compatible with DTS or electronic controls?
No. This is a fully mechanical cable and does not support DTS or electronic throttle and shift systems.

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