Mercury – Platinum Plus Throttle and Shift Cable 10 Foot | Mechanical Engine Control | 8M0082533

The Mercury Platinum Plus Throttle and Shift Cable (Gen II) is built for mechanical control systems where refined feel and consistent response are important. Designed for Mercury Gen II mechanical control applications, it delivers a direct mechanical connection with noticeably lighter, smoother movement than standard control cables. The 10-foot length is ideal for moderate routing runs that need a bit of extra reach without creating excess slack.

Selecting the correct cable length and construction helps support consistent throttle response and clean shifting over time. Proper routing, secure fastening, and routine inspection can reduce internal wear and help maintain smooth control feel throughout regular use.

Key Features
