The Quicksilver 8M0082495 is an OEM-quality Platinum Plus Generation I throttle and shift cable measuring 22 feet in length. Designed as a direct replacement for worn or damaged control cables, this cable is engineered for long service life and consistent performance in demanding marine environments, rated for operation in temperatures down to below 0°F.
Built around a layered technology construction, the cable features a stainless steel core surrounded by a lubricated core liner that resists corrosion while maintaining flexibility throughout its service life. A tough polypropylene outer jacket provides UV and abrasion resistance to withstand the harsh conditions of regular on-water use. The larger-diameter design and 100% wire-wrapped outer conduit deliver additional strength and durability, while the high-efficiency inner core ensures smooth, precise throttle and shift operation.

Sizing & Installation Notes: To determine the correct cable length, measure the path from the control to the engine throttle/shift attachment point along the unobstructed cable route. Add 18 inches for outboard installations. The length and connection type are also printed on your existing cable for easy reference. Do not lubricate the core, and avoid tight or sharp bends during installation.
When to Replace: Replace throttle and shift cables when you notice excessive free play or stiffness at the control, or when there are visible signs of chafing, bending, broken components, or loose fittings. Control cables cannot be repaired and must be replaced when worn.
