Mercury – Platinum Plus Throttle and Shift Cable 12 Foot | Mechanical Engine Control | 8M0082535

The Mercury Platinum Plus Throttle and Shift Cable (Gen II) is built for mechanical control systems where refined feel and dependable operation matter. Designed for Mercury Gen II mechanical control applications, it delivers a direct mechanical connection with noticeably lighter, smoother movement than standard control cables. The 12-foot length is well suited for longer mid-range routing runs where clean cable layout and proper support are important.

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