Quicksilver 8M0082535 Gen II Platinum Plus Throttle and Shift Cable 12 Ft

The Quicksilver 8M0082535 is an OEM Platinum Plus Generation II throttle and shift cable measuring 12 feet in length, designed as a direct replacement for Mercury Marine, MerCruiser, and Quicksilver Gen II control systems. Built to handle the demands of the marine environment, this cable delivers smooth, precise throttle and shift control in all weather conditions down to below 0°F.

Determining the correct replacement cable is straightforward — check the length and part number printed on your existing cable, or measure the unobstructed path from your control unit to the engine's throttle/shift attachment point. Add 18 inches for outboard installations.

Key Features:

• Generation II connections — designed specifically for Mercury Gen II control systems
• Platinum Plus construction — layered technology structure for smooth operation and long-term durability
• Polypropylene outer jacket — UV-resistant and abrasion-resistant for extended service life
• Lubricated core liner — surrounds the stainless steel core to resist corrosion in harsh marine environments while maintaining flexibility
• All-weather rated — engineered for maximum performance in temperatures down to below 0°F
• Easy replacement — installs with common tools; remove old cable and route new cable in reverse order

When to Replace Your Cable:

• Excessive free play or stiffness felt at the control
• Visible chafing, broken, bent, or loose components
• Cable cannot be repaired — replacement is the only remedy

Installation Notes: Do not lubricate the core. Avoid tight or sharp bends during routing. Add 18 inches to your measured length for outboard applications.
