Quicksilver 8M0082545 Platinum Plus Gen II Throttle and Shift Cable 22 Feet

The Quicksilver 8M0082545 is a genuine OEM Platinum Plus Generation II throttle and shift cable measuring 22 feet in length. Engineered by Mercury Marine, this replacement cable is designed for long-term reliability and smooth, precise throttle and shift control in demanding marine environments.

Determining the correct cable for your application is straightforward: check the length and part number printed on your existing cable, or measure the unobstructed route from the control to the engine throttle/shift attachment point. For outboard installations, add 18 inches to your measured length to ensure proper fit.

Key Features:

• Generation II (Gen 2) connections — compatible with Mercury Gen II control systems
• 22 feet in length — suitable for larger boats and extended rigging runs
• Platinum Plus construction — built for long life and maximum performance in all weather conditions, down to below 0°F
• Polypropylene outer jacket — UV and abrasion resistant for lasting durability in harsh marine environments
• Stainless steel core — 22 oil-tempered wires provide increased compression strength and flexibility for severe applications
• Patented hexagonal core shape — minimizes contact with the liner for reduced friction and smoother operation
• Lubricated core liner — resists the harsh marine environment while maintaining flexibility; do not add additional lubrication to the core

When to Replace Your Cable: Replace the throttle and shift cable when you notice excessive free play or stiffness at the control, or when you observe chafed, broken, bent, or loose components. Throttle and shift cables cannot be repaired — only replaced. Replacement can be completed with common tools by removing the old cable and installing the new one in reverse order. Avoid tight or sharp bends during installation.
