2Pcs 19FT Outboard Throttle Shift Control Cables GEN 1 For Mercury MerCruiser

Outboard Throttle Shift Control Cables GEN 1 for Mercury MerCruiser

This pair of 19-foot Gen 1 outboard throttle and shift control cables connects your remote control to the engine, enabling smooth gear changes and throttle response on Mercury MerCruiser-powered boats.

Overview

These outboard throttle shift control cables provide precise motion transfer between your helm control and the outboard or sterndrive. Designed specifically for Mercury MerCruiser Gen 1 systems, they deliver reliable shift and throttle actuation in freshwater and saltwater environments. A common upgrade for repowering projects or worn cable replacement, these outboard throttle shift control cables help restore firm, slop-free control feel.

Built For Performance

• 19-foot length suits runabouts, pontoons, and small cruisers with remote controls
• Low-friction inner core reduces shift effort at the helm
• Gen 1 end fittings match Mercury MerCruiser control and engine connections
• Flexible UV-resistant jacket resists cracking and sun damage
• Set of two cables covers both throttle and shift functions

On-The-Job Use

• Replacing stiff or corroded original cables on repowered vessels
• New throttle/shift cable runs during console or control box upgrades
• Pontoon boats needing a clean, snag-free cable path to the outboard
• Bass boats and walleye rigs where precise low-speed control is critical

Specs At A Glance

Good To Know

Q: How do I measure for proper cable length? A: Run a tape from the control box to the engine along the exact cable route, then add a small service loop; confirm your measurement is close to 19 feet for this set.

Q: Can one cable be used for throttle and the other for shift? A: Yes, both cables share the same build and end fittings, so either cable can serve as the throttle or shift leg in a Gen 1 Mercury MerCruiser setup.

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