Mercury Kabel 8M0082540

Mercury – Platinum Plus Throttle and Shift Cable 17 Foot | Mechanical Engine Control | 8M0082540 The Mercury Platinum Plus throttle and shift cable is designed for Gen II mechanical control systems where smooth feel and predictable response are essential. Built with Platinum Plus low-friction construction, it delivers noticeably lighter and more refined control movement than standard mechanical cables while maintaining a direct mechanical connection between the helm and engine. The seventeen-foot length is ideal for boats with extended helm-to-engine routing, including wider consoles and deeper layouts where clean cable paths help prevent binding and excess resistance. Selecting the correct cable length supports proper routing, reduces sharp bends, and helps maintain steady throttle response and clean shift engagement during everyday operation. Key Features Platinum Plus construction reduces internal friction and control effort Seventeen foot length supports extended mechanical control routing Designed specifically for Mercury Gen II mechanical control systems Enhanced corrosion resistance for marine environments Engine & Boat Compatibility Mercury outboards Gen II mechanical control systems Mechanical throttle and shift applications Important Notes Designed only for Gen II mechanical control systems Always confirm required cable length before ordering Proper routing with gradual bends helps prevent stiffness and premature wear FAQs 1) What control systems is this cable compatible with? This cable is designed exclusively for Mercury Gen II mechanical throttle and shift control systems. 2) What makes Platinum Plus cables different from standard control cables? Platinum Plus cables use low-friction internal construction to provide lighter control effort, smoother movement, and more consistent response over time. 3) When should I use a 17-foot control cable? A 17-foot cable is commonly used on boats with wider consoles, deeper helm layouts, or longer helm-to-engine routing paths. 4) Can this cable be used with Gen I control systems? No. Gen II control cables are not compatible with Gen I systems and should not be mixed. 5) Why is proper routing important? Smooth routing with gradual bends reduces internal resistance, improves control feel, and helps extend overall cable service life.
