Mercury – Platinum Plus Throttle and Shift Cable | 27 Ft | SAE Mechanical Control Cable | 8M0082599

The Mercury Platinum Plus throttle and shift cable is designed for Mercury SAE mechanical control systems that require a long, clean routing path from the helm to the engine. Ideal for larger boats and wide console layouts, this 27-foot cable allows relaxed installation without tight bends that can affect control feel. Its Platinum Plus construction delivers smooth, low-friction throttle and shift operation, helping maintain predictable response even over extended distances.

Key Features

• Platinum Plus Construction – Reduced internal friction for smoother throttle and shift movement
• 27-Foot Length – Designed for extended helm-to-engine routing on larger boats
• Stainless Steel Core – Improved corrosion resistance and long-term durability
• SAE Mechanical Ends – Compatible with standard Mercury SAE mechanical control systems

Engine & Boat Compatibility

• Mercury outboards using SAE mechanical control systems
• Boats with long helm-to-engine control runs
• Mechanical throttle and shift control applications (non-electronic)

Important Notes

• Verify required cable length before ordering to avoid tight bends or excess slack.
• Proper routing with smooth bends is critical for best performance and cable life.
• Designed for mechanical control systems only; not compatible with DTS or electronic controls.

FAQs

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

2) When should I choose a 27-foot control cable?
A 27-foot cable is ideal for larger boats or layouts with long helm-to-engine distances where shorter cables would be stretched or forced into tight bends.

3) What is the benefit of the Platinum Plus design?
Platinum Plus cables reduce internal friction, resulting in smoother control feel, less wear, and more consistent throttle and shift response over time.

4) Does this cable work with electronic or DTS systems?
No. This cable is intended only for mechanical (SAE) control systems.

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