Specs At A Glance

Good To Know

Q: Are these cables compatible with both throttle and shift functions? A: Yes, the set includes one cable for throttle control and one for shift, both designed to fit Gen I Mercury Mariner control boxes and engine connection points.

Q: How do I measure to confirm the 9-foot cable length is correct for my boat? A: Measure the existing cable from the control box along the routing path to the engine, adding a small service loop; 9-foot cables typically fit single-engine center-console boats up to about 22-24 feet.

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