2PCS 15FT Outboard Throttle Cable Gen I Control Shift Cables For Mercury Mariner

Outboard Throttle and Shift Cable Kit for Mercury Mariner

A set of two 15-foot Generation I throttle and shift cables designed to link the remote control to the engine, delivering precise throttle and gear changes for Mercury and Mariner outboard engines.

Overview

This outboard throttle cable set replaces worn or sticking control cables on Mercury and Mariner outboards. Each 15-foot outboard throttle cable features a Gen I design that delivers reliable push-pull motion to the engine's shift and throttle levers. Designed for boat owners and marine mechanics, the cables ensure consistent performance in fresh and saltwater conditions.

Specs At A Glance

Good To Know

Q: How do I measure for a replacement outboard throttle cable? A: Measure the total length from the control box to the engine along the routing path, then select a cable at least that long; a 15-foot cable suits many 16 to 24-foot boats with console forward.

Q: Can I use these Gen I cables on a Gen II Mercury control system? A: No, these cables are designed specifically for Gen I controls; using them on a Gen II system may result in incorrect end fitting size and poor engagement.

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