Mercury – Platinum Plus Throttle and Shift Cable 3 Foot | Mechanical Engine Control | 8M0082526

The Mercury Platinum Plus Throttle and Shift Cable (Gen II) is designed for mechanical control systems where smooth operation and precise helm feel are especially important. Built for Mercury Gen II mechanical control applications, it delivers refined, low-effort movement compared to standard control cables. The 3-foot length is ideal for tight console layouts, close-mounted control boxes, and compact rigging installations where excess cable length is not desired.

Properly functioning control cables help support consistent throttle response and clean shifting over time. Selecting the correct cable length, routing with gradual bends, and performing routine inspection can reduce internal wear and help preserve smooth operation, especially in high-use or demanding marine environments.
