Product Details

The Quicksilver 8M0082544 is an OEM Platinum Plus Generation II throttle and shift cable measuring 21 feet in length, designed as a direct replacement for Mercury Marine and MerCruiser control systems using Gen II connections. Built to exacting Mercury Marine specifications, this cable delivers smooth, reliable throttle and shift response in the harshest marine environments.

Key Features:

  • Layered technology construction creates a smooth-operating, durable control cable rated for all weather conditions down to below 0°F
  • 22 oil-tempered stainless steel wires provide increased compression strength and durability for demanding applications
  • Patented hexagonal core shape minimizes contact with the liner for reduced friction and easier operation
  • Lubricated core liner surrounds the stainless steel core to resist the harsh marine environment while maintaining flexibility
  • Polypropylene outer jacket is UV and abrasion resistant for long-term durability
  • Generation II connections for compatibility with Mercury Marine Gen II control systems
  • Sold individually as one (1) cable

Sizing & Installation:

  • To determine the correct cable length, read the length and part number printed on your existing cable, or measure the path from the control to the engine throttle/shift attachment point along the unobstructed cable route
  • Add 18 inches for outboard installations
  • Installation is straightforward using common tools — remove the old cable and install the new cable in reverse order
  • Do not lubricate the core; avoid tight or sharp bends during installation

When to Replace Your Cable:

  • Excessive free play or stiffness felt at the control
  • Visible chafing, broken, bent, or loose parts on the existing cable
  • Note: Throttle and shift cables cannot be repaired — only replaced

As a genuine Quicksilver OEM part, the 8M0082544 is backed by Mercury Marine's 1-year factory warranty against defects in materials and workmanship.
