Product Details

The Quicksilver 8M0082543 is a genuine OEM Platinum Plus Generation II throttle and shift cable measuring 20 feet in length. Designed as a direct replacement for worn or damaged Gen II control cables, this cable delivers smooth, precise throttle and shift response in all marine environments. Built to Mercury Marine's original equipment standards, it features a layered technology structure engineered for long service life and reliable performance in all weather conditions — including temperatures well below 0°F.

Key Features:

  • Genuine OEM Quicksilver part — manufactured to Mercury Marine's original equipment specifications
  • Generation II connections — compatible with Gen II remote controls and engines
  • 20-foot cable length — suitable for larger vessel installations
  • Polypropylene outer jacket — UV and abrasion resistant for long-term durability in harsh marine conditions
  • Stainless steel core with lubricated liner — resists corrosion while maintaining smooth, flexible operation
  • High-quality braided wire construction with stainless steel armor wrap and plated brass ends
  • All-weather rated — performs reliably to below 0°F
  • Do not lubricate core — factory-lubricated liner requires no additional lubrication

Installation Notes:

  • To determine the correct cable length, read 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
  • Add 18 inches for outboard installations
  • Remove the old cable and install the new cable in reverse order using common hand tools
  • Avoid tight or sharp bends during routing

When to Replace Your Throttle and Shift Cable:

  • Excessive free play or stiffness felt at the control
  • Visible chafing, bending, breakage, or loose components on the existing cable
  • Note: Throttle and shift cables cannot be repaired — replacement is always required

Sold individually. Backed by Mercury Marine's 1-year factory warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. OEM cross-reference: 897978A20.
