Good To Know
Q: How do I measure to confirm I need the 18-foot length? A: Measure the existing cable from tip to tip following the exact routing path; choose the same length or the nearest longer size, as too short a cable will bind.
Q: Do these cables fit MerCruiser Alpha One Gen II? A: These cables are intended for Gen 1 systems; Alpha One Gen II may require different end fittings, so verify your control-box and bracket style before ordering.
Slight variation in finish or dimensions may occur between production runs, and fit can depend on serial number, so confirm compatibility before ordering.
