{"product_id":"mercury-kabel-8m0085970","title":"Mercury Kabel 8M0085970","description":"Mercury – Platinum Plus Throttle and Shift Cable 9 Foot | Mechanical Engine Control \n\n The Mercury Platinum Plus Throttle and Shift Cable is designed for boats using Mercury Gen II SAE mechanical control systems where smooth, consistent response at the helm is essential. Built with Platinum Plus construction, it provides a direct mechanical connection between the control and the engine while delivering a lighter, more refined feel than standard mechanical cables. The 9-foot length is well suited for mid-length console-to-engine routing, helping maintain clean installation without excess slack. \n\n This cable is intended for boat owners and technicians maintaining Mercury mechanical control systems who want predictable throttle response and clean gear engagement without transitioning to electronic controls. Reduced internal friction supports reliable operation in moderate-length mechanical control runs. \n\n Key Features \n \n Platinum Plus Construction – Reduces internal friction for smoother throttle and shift movement \n 9-Foot Cable Length – Ideal for moderate helm-to-engine routing layouts \n Gen II SAE Control Interface – Designed specifically for Mercury Gen II SAE mechanical control systems \n Marine-Grade Build – Enhanced corrosion resistance for vibration, moisture, and marine exposure \n \n\n Engine \u0026amp; Boat Compatibility \n \n Mercury outboards with Gen II SAE mechanical control systems \n Non-electronic throttle and shift configurations \n Mercury mechanical control installations requiring a 9-foot Platinum Plus throttle and shift cable \n \n\n Important Notes \n \n Proper routing helps maintain smooth performance. \n Avoid sharp bends and tight radii during installation. \n Verify full throttle and shift travel after setup. \n Gen II SAE mechanical cables do not require electronic calibration. \n \n\n FAQs \n\n  1) What control systems does this cable work with?  \nIt is designed for Mercury Gen II SAE mechanical throttle and shift control systems. \n\n  2) What length is this cable?  \nThis cable is 9 feet long, ideal for moderate console-to-engine routing. \n\n  3) What are the benefits of Platinum Plus cables compared to standard cables?  \nPlatinum Plus cables reduce internal friction, resulting in lighter control effort, smoother movement, and reduced wear on control boxes and engine linkages. \n\n  4) Is this cable compatible with DTS systems?  \nNo. This is a mechanical throttle and shift cable for non-DTS control systems. \n\n  5) What should be checked during installation?  \nEnsure smooth routing without sharp bends, secure the cable properly, and confirm full throttle and shift travel before operating the engine.\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVervangt artikelnummers:\u003c\/strong\u003e 896145A09 · 8M0052680.
