Mercury – Platinum Plus Throttle and Shift Cable | 36 Ft | SAE Mechanical Control Cable | 8M0082605

The Mercury Platinum Plus throttle and shift cable is designed for boats using Mercury SAE mechanical control systems where very long helm-to-engine routing is required. Built for smooth, predictable mechanical response, this cable reduces internal friction to maintain refined throttle and shift feel even on large boats with extended console layouts. The 36-foot length supports relaxed routing without tight bends, helping preserve consistent control performance over long distances.

Using the correct OEM cable length is critical on long control runs. Proper routing helps reduce internal wear, prevent binding, and ensure reliable throttle response and clean gear engagement over time.

Key Features

• Platinum Plus Construction – Reduces internal friction for smoother throttle and shift movement
• 36-Foot Length – Supports extended helm-to-engine routing on large boats
• SAE Mechanical Ends – Designed for Mercury SAE mechanical control systems
• Corrosion-Resistant Materials – Built to handle vibration, moisture, and marine exposure

Engine & Boat Compatibility

• Mercury outboards using SAE mechanical control systems
• Boats with long helm-to-engine routing paths
• Wide-beam boats, offshore layouts, and extended console installations

Important Notes

• Confirm SAE mechanical control compatibility before ordering.
• Verify correct cable length based on actual routing path.
• Avoid sharp bends and tight radii during installation.
• No electronic calibration is required—standard mechanical adjustment and verification of full throttle and shift travel should be performed after installation.
• Not compatible with DTS or electronic control systems.

FAQs

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

2) When should I choose a 36-foot cable?
A 36-foot cable is ideal for large boats, offshore hulls, or extended helm-to-engine layouts where shorter cables would feel tight or restrict routing.

3) What makes Platinum Plus cables different from standard mechanical cables?
Platinum Plus cables reduce internal friction and use premium materials for smoother operation, longer service life, and more consistent control feel.

4) Can this cable be used with electronic or DTS control systems?
No. This cable is intended only for traditional 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.
