2Pcs 14FT Outboard Throttle Shift Control Cables GEN 1 For Mercury MerCruiser

Outboard Throttle Shift Control Cables for Mercury MerCruiser

These 14-foot Gen 1 outboard throttle shift control cables connect helm controls to the engine, ensuring smooth shifting and throttle response for Mercury MerCruiser systems.

Overview

These outboard throttle shift control cables transmit push-pull motion from the control box to the outboard or sterndrive, allowing precise gear engagement and throttle modulation. Designed for Mercury MerCruiser Gen 1 applications, the 14-foot length suits a wide range of center-console and runabout layouts. Marine technicians and boat owners rely on these outboard throttle shift control cables to restore reliable, low-effort control after cable wear or corrosion.

Specs At A Glance

Good To Know

Q: Will these cables work with Gen 2 controls? A: No, these are designed specifically for Gen 1 Mercury MerCruiser systems and may not connect properly to Gen 2 shiftboxes.

Q: Do I need to measure before ordering? A: Yes, measure the existing cable routing path from helm to engine; 14-foot cables fit many common layouts but always confirm total length to avoid excess slack or tension.

Slight variation in finish or dimensions may occur between production runs, and fit can depend on serial number, so confirm compatibility before ordering.
