Quicksilver 8M0082533 Gen II Platinum Plus Throttle and Shift Cable - 10 Ft

The Quicksilver 8M0082533 is an OEM-grade Generation II Platinum Plus Throttle and Shift Cable measuring 10 feet in length, designed as a direct replacement for Mercury, Mariner, and MerCruiser engines using Mercury 4000 series engine controls. Built to exacting Mercury Marine specifications, this cable delivers smooth, precise throttle and shift control with the durability demanded by harsh marine environments.

Quicksilver Platinum Plus cables feature a layered technology construction that combines a stainless steel core, a lubricated core liner, and a tough polypropylene outer jacket to maximize performance and longevity. With 22 oil-tempered wires forming the inner core, this cable handles demanding compression loads while remaining flexible for complex routing paths.

Key Features:

• Generation II (Gen 2) end connections — compatible with Mercury 4000 series engine controls on Mercury, Mariner, and MerCruiser engines from 2003 and up
• 10-foot cable length — measure your existing cable or route path from control to engine; add 18 inches for outboard installations
• 22 oil-tempered wire inner core for increased compression strength and durability
• Lubricated core liner surrounds the stainless steel core to resist the marine environment while maintaining flexibility
• Polypropylene outer jacket is UV-resistant and abrasion-resistant for long-term exterior protection
• Patented hexagonal core shape allows for minimal contact with the liner, reducing friction for smooth operation
• Rated for use in all weather conditions, including temperatures below 0°F

When to Replace Your Cable:

• Excessive free play or stiffness felt at the helm control
• Visible chafing, broken, bent, or loose cable components
• Throttle or shift response feels sluggish or inconsistent

Installation Notes:

• Do not lubricate the inner core
• Avoid tight or sharp bends during routing
• Throttle and shift cables cannot be repaired — replacement is required
• Install by removing the old cable and routing the new cable in reverse order using common hand tools

As an OEM Quicksilver replacement part, the 8M0082533 meets the same design, engineering, and materials standards as the original factory-installed cable, ensuring a reliable, long-lasting fit.
