Product Details

The Quicksilver 8M0082542 is a 19-foot Generation II Platinum Plus throttle and shift cable engineered for Mercury Marine applications. Designed as a direct OEM replacement, this cable features a layered construction that delivers smooth, precise control for both throttle and shift functions in demanding marine environments.

Built to withstand the rigors of the marine environment, this cable performs reliably in all weather conditions—including temperatures well below 0°F. The stainless steel core, UV-resistant outer jacket, and sealed lubrication system ensure long service life even in harsh saltwater and freshwater conditions.

Key Features:

  • Generation II connections — designed for compatibility with Gen II Mercury Marine remote controls
  • 19 feet in length — suitable for a wide range of boat layouts and outboard installations
  • Polypropylene outer jacket — UV and abrasion resistant for lasting durability
  • Lubricated core liner — surrounds the stainless steel core to resist corrosion while maintaining flexibility
  • Stainless steel inner core — specially designed to handle tough compression loads
  • Sealed lubrication system with nickel-plated fittings — resists corrosion in harsh marine environments
  • Large-diameter cable with 100% wire-wrapped outer conduit — provides additional strength and durability
  • Rated for temperatures below 0°F — built for maximum performance in all weather conditions

Installation Tips:

  • 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
  • Avoid tight or sharp bends during routing
  • Do not lubricate the core
  • Remove the old or damaged cable and install the new cable in reverse order — replacement is straightforward with common tools

When to Replace Your Cable: Replace the throttle and shift cable when you notice excessive free play or stiffness at the control, or when you observe chafed, broken, bent, or loose parts. Throttle and shift cables cannot be repaired — only replaced.

The Quicksilver 8M0082542 is sold as a single cable. Always verify the length and connection type (Gen II) by referencing the part number or markings on your existing cable before ordering.
