Product Details

The Quicksilver 8M0082491 is a genuine Mercury Marine OEM Platinum Plus throttle and shift control cable, measuring 18 feet (5.5 meters) in length with Generation I end connections. Designed as a direct replacement for worn or damaged control cables on Mercury outboard and MerCruiser applications, this cable delivers smooth, reliable throttle and shift operation in demanding marine environments.

Built on a layered technology construction, the cable features a stainless steel core surrounded by a sealed, lubricated core liner that maintains flexibility while resisting the corrosive effects of salt air and water. A polypropylene outer jacket provides UV and abrasion resistance, while 100% wire-wrapped outer conduit adds structural strength. Nickel-plated fittings further protect against corrosion. The result is a cable rated for maximum performance in all weather conditions, including temperatures below 0°F.

Key Features:

  • Genuine Mercury Marine / Quicksilver OEM part — not aftermarket
  • 18-foot (5.5m) length with Generation I end connections
  • Platinum Plus series with layered construction for smooth, precise control
  • Stainless steel core with sealed lubrication system for flexibility and corrosion resistance
  • Polypropylene outer jacket — UV and abrasion resistant
  • 100% wire-wrapped outer conduit for added strength
  • Nickel-plated fittings for superior corrosion protection
  • Rated for performance in all weather conditions to below 0°F
  • Replaces cable using common tools — no special equipment required

Sizing Tips: To select the correct cable length for a new installation, measure the path from the control to the engine throttle/shift attachment point along the unobstructed cable route. For outboard installations, add 18 inches to that measurement. When replacing an existing cable, measure the old cable tip-to-tip and subtract seven inches to determine the required length. You can also identify the correct length by reading the part number printed on your existing cable.

When to Replace: 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 cable components. Throttle and shift cables cannot be repaired — only replaced. Do not lubricate the core, and avoid tight or sharp bends during installation.
