Mercury – Platinum Plus Throttle and Shift Cable | 40 Ft | SAE Mechanical Control Cable | 8M0082607

The Mercury Platinum Plus Throttle and Shift Cable is engineered for Mercury SAE mechanical control systems requiring extremely long helm-to-engine routing distances. Featuring Platinum Plus construction, it delivers a direct mechanical connection with reduced internal friction to maintain smooth, predictable throttle and shift response even across extended cable runs. The 40-foot (12.2 meter) length is commonly used on large offshore boats and wide hull designs where routing spans nearly the full length of the vessel.

Selecting the correct OEM cable length is especially critical on long mechanical runs. Proper length and routing help prevent forced bends, uneven resistance, and excessive internal wear, supporting consistent control feel and dependable performance throughout the system.

Key Features

• Platinum Plus Construction – Premium materials reduce internal friction for smoother throttle and shift action
• 40-Foot Cable Length (12.2 m) – Designed for extremely long helm-to-engine routing paths
• SAE Mechanical Control Interface – Compatible with Mercury SAE mechanical throttle and shift systems

Important Notes

• Confirm SAE mechanical control compatibility and required cable length before installation.
• Due to the cable length, routing with wide, smooth bends is critical to maintain proper control feel.
• Proper securing and adjustment are essential to ensure full throttle and shift travel.
• Mechanical control cables do not require electronic calibration.
• Not compatible with DTS (Digital Throttle & Shift) systems.

FAQs

1) What control systems is this cable compatible with?
This cable is designed for Mercury SAE mechanical throttle and shift control systems.

2) What length is this cable?
This cable measures 40 feet (12.2 meters), intended for very long helm-to-engine routing applications.

3) Why is Platinum Plus construction important on long cable runs?
Platinum Plus construction reduces internal friction, helping preserve smooth control movement, minimize wear, and maintain consistent response over extended distances.

4) Is this cable compatible with DTS systems?
No. This is a mechanical throttle and shift cable and is not compatible with DTS (Digital Throttle & Shift) systems.

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