Mercury – Platinum Plus Throttle and Shift Cable | 25 Ft | SAE Mechanical Control Cable | 8M0082597

The Mercury Platinum Plus throttle and shift cable is designed for Mercury SAE mechanical control systems that require very long helm-to-engine routing. The 25-foot length is commonly used on larger boats and wide center consoles where relaxed cable routing is critical to maintaining smooth, predictable control feel. Platinum Plus construction reduces internal friction, helping throttle and shift movement remain consistent even over long distances.

Choosing the correct OEM cable length helps prevent tight bends, uneven resistance, and premature wear. Proper routing supports dependable mechanical control performance in demanding marine environments.

FAQs

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

2) When should I choose a 25-foot cable?
A 25-foot cable is ideal for larger boats or extended helm-to-engine runs where shorter cables may bind or feel strained.

3) What benefit does Platinum Plus construction provide?
Platinum Plus cables reduce internal friction and improve corrosion resistance, helping maintain smooth operation and longer service life.

4) Can this cable be used with DTS or electronic controls?
No. This cable is for mechanical control systems only and is not compatible with DTS.

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