Mercury – Platinum Plus Throttle and Shift Cable 13 Foot | Mechanical Engine Control | 8M0082536

The Mercury Platinum Plus Throttle and Shift Cable (Gen II) is built for mechanical control systems where smooth feel and consistent response are a priority. Designed for Mercury Gen II mechanical control applications, it delivers a direct mechanical connection with noticeably lighter, more refined movement than standard control cables. The 13-foot length works well for longer mid-range routing where clean cable runs help reduce resistance and maintain proper support.

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

Key Features

• Platinum Plus Cable Construction – Designed to reduce internal friction and control effort
