Product Details

The Quicksilver 8M0082541 is an OEM replacement throttle and shift cable for Mercury Marine and Quicksilver-controlled outboard and sterndrive applications. This 18-foot Platinum Plus Generation II cable features the Gen II end connections and is engineered for long service life in demanding marine environments.

Determining the correct replacement cable is straightforward: read the length and part number printed on the existing cable, or measure the routing path from the control to the engine throttle/shift attachment point. Add 18 inches to your measurement for outboard installations.

Key Features:

  • Generation II connections — designed as a direct OEM replacement for Gen II control systems
  • Platinum Plus layered construction — smooth-operating, durable design rated for performance in all weather conditions down to below 0°F
  • Polypropylene outer jacket — UV and abrasion resistant for long-term protection in the marine environment
  • Stainless steel core — patented hexagonal shape minimizes liner contact and handles demanding compression loads while remaining flexible
  • 22 oil-tempered core wires — provide increased compression strength and enhanced durability
  • Lubricated core liner — surrounds the stainless steel core to resist corrosion and maintain smooth, flexible operation

Installation Notes: Throttle and shift cables cannot be repaired — only replaced. Replace the cable when you notice excessive free play, stiffness at the control, or visible chafing, bending, or broken/loose components. Do not lubricate the core. Avoid tight or sharp bends during installation. Removal and reinstallation can be completed with common tools.

Good business

Great value, great service! I will continue to purchase auto parts through your website.

I was satisfied with my purchase. It was difficult getting a high gloss, but I think that was because I didn't sand the surface smooth enough. Oh well! I may sand lightly and reapply.
