Mercury – Platinum Plus Throttle and Shift Cable (Gen II) | 8M0082537
The Mercury Platinum Plus Throttle and Shift Cable (Gen II) is engineered for mechanical control systems where refined feel and predictable response 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 14-foot length is well suited for longer routing paths where clean cable layout helps reduce internal resistance and maintain smooth operation.
Selecting the correct cable length helps support proper routing and minimizes tight bends that can increase control effort over time. With proper installation, secure fastening, and routine inspection, this cable helps maintain consistent throttle response and clean shift engagement during everyday operation.
Key Features
- Platinum Plus Cable Construction – Designed to reduce internal friction and control effort
- 14-Foot Cable Length – Suitable for extended control layouts and longer routing runs
- Gen II Control Compatibility – Designed specifically for Mercury Generation II mechanical control systems
- Enhanced Corrosion Resistance – Built for durability in marine environments
Engine & Boat Compatibility
