Mercury – Platinum Plus Throttle and Shift Cable 16 Foot | Mechanical Engine Control - 8M0082539

The Mercury Platinum Plus Throttle and Shift Cable (Gen II) is built for mechanical control systems where refined feel and predictable response matter at the helm. Designed for Mercury Gen II mechanical control applications, it delivers a direct mechanical connection with noticeably lighter, smoother movement than standard control cables. The 16-foot length is ideal for longer routing layouts where clean cable paths help reduce resistance and maintain smooth operation.

Using the correct cable length supports proper routing and helps prevent sharp bends that can increase control effort over time. With correct installation, secure fastening, and routine inspection, this cable contributes to steady throttle response and clean shift engagement during everyday use.
