Product Details

The Quicksilver 8M0082488 is a genuine OEM replacement throttle and shift cable designed for Mercury Marine and MerCruiser applications. This 15-foot, Generation I (Gen I) Platinum Plus cable delivers smooth, precise throttle and shift control in even the most demanding marine environments.

Built using a layered technology construction, the cable combines a stainless steel inner core with a lubricated core liner and a UV- and abrasion-resistant polypropylene outer jacket. This multi-layer design ensures long service life, corrosion resistance, and consistent operation across a wide temperature range—rated for use in conditions down to below 0°F.

Key Features:

  • Genuine Quicksilver OEM replacement cable — not aftermarket
  • 15 feet long with Generation I connection ends
  • Platinum Plus multi-layer construction for smooth, consistent operation
  • Stainless steel core with lubricated core liner for corrosion resistance and flexibility
  • Polypropylene outer jacket is UV-resistant and abrasion-resistant
  • Rated for use in all weather conditions, including temperatures below 0°F
  • Compatible with Mercury 600A-type control systems

Sizing & Installation Notes:

  • To determine the correct cable length, read the length and part number printed on your existing cable, or measure the full unobstructed routing path from the control to the engine throttle/shift attachment point
  • Add 18 inches for outboard engine installations
  • Install in reverse order of removal using common hand tools
  • Do not lubricate the inner core
  • Avoid tight or sharp bends during routing

Throttle and shift cables cannot be repaired and must be replaced when excessive free play, stiffness, chafing, bending, or loose parts are present. Replacing a worn cable restores crisp, reliable throttle and shift response and protects against unexpected loss of control on the water.
