Product Details

The Quicksilver 8M0082540 is a genuine OEM Platinum Plus Generation II throttle and shift cable measuring 17 feet in length. Engineered by Mercury Marine, this replacement cable is built to deliver smooth, reliable throttle and shift control in demanding marine environments, performing dependably in all weather conditions including temperatures well below 0°F.

The Gen II cable design features an updated outer anchorage connection at the control box end, making it compatible with Mercury 4000 series engine controls and Mercury, Mariner, and MerCruiser engines that specify Generation II cable connections. To confirm the correct cable length for your installation, read the length and part number printed on your existing cable, or measure the unobstructed cable route from the control to the engine throttle/shift attachment point — add 18 inches for outboard installations.

Key Features:

  • 17-foot length with Generation II (Gen II) end connections
  • Polypropylene outer jacket is UV and abrasion resistant for long-lasting protection
  • 22 oil-tempered wires provide increased compression strength and durability
  • Lubricated core liner surrounds the stainless steel core to resist the harsh marine environment while maintaining flexibility
  • Patented hexagonal stainless steel core minimizes contact with the liner for low drag and smooth operation
  • Rated for performance in all weather conditions, including temperatures below 0°F
  • Easy to replace with common tools — install in reverse order of removal

Replace your throttle and shift cable when you notice excessive free play or stiffness at the control, or if you observe chafed, broken, bent, or loose components. Throttle and shift cables cannot be repaired — replacement is the only solution. Do not lubricate the core, and avoid tight or sharp bends during installation.

Nice and simple!

Ordered the Auto Ventshade Ventvisor Deflector 4 pc. (Model 94856) for my 2000 Toyota Camry XLE. Was easy to install with no tools, just use the included strong double sided adhesive tape. Instructions that came with it could've been more detailed on where exactly to install the ventshade as I had to remove them tediously, realizing I had to put them a little higher. Also, there seems to be an unsightly gap between the front and back windows. Works as designed. Satisfied with product. Fast shipping by Autoplicity.
