Product Details

The Quicksilver 8M0082493 is a 20-foot Platinum Plus Generation I throttle and shift cable designed as a direct OEM replacement for Mercury Marine and MerCruiser applications. Built to withstand the harshest marine environments, this cable delivers smooth, precise throttle and shift control and is engineered for long-term reliability in all weather conditions — including temperatures below 0°F.

Determining the correct cable length is straightforward: check the length and part number printed on your existing cable, or measure the route from the control to the engine throttle/shift attachment point along the unobstructed cable path. Add 18 inches for outboard installations to ensure adequate slack.

Key Features:

  • Platinum Plus construction — layered technology structure provides smooth operation and extended cable life
  • Stainless steel core surrounded by a lubricated core liner for flexibility and corrosion resistance in saltwater and freshwater environments
  • Polypropylene outer jacket is UV-resistant and abrasion-resistant for topside durability
  • Generation I end connections — compatible with Mercury Marine Generation I control systems
  • 20-foot length — suitable for larger vessel installations with longer cable runs
  • All-weather rated — performs reliably in extreme cold below 0°F

Installation Notes:

  • Throttle and shift cables cannot be repaired — replacement is the only solution when wear is detected
  • Replace the cable when you notice excessive free play, stiffness at the control, or visible damage such as chafing, bending, or broken/loose parts
  • Do not lubricate the core — the internal liner is pre-lubricated at the factory
  • Avoid tight or sharp bends during routing and installation
  • Installable with common hand tools

The Quicksilver 8M0082493 is an OEM-quality replacement cable backed by Mercury Marine's engineering standards, ensuring the same fit, feel, and durability as the original equipment on your boat.

Super fast shipping, in stock, good pricing. Very happy with this order.
