The Quicksilver 8M0082492 is a genuine OEM Platinum Plus throttle and shift cable for Mercury Marine controls using Generation I (Gen I) connections, measuring 19 feet in length. Built to OEM standards, this replacement cable delivers smooth, precise throttle and shift control in the demanding marine environment.
Constructed with a layered technology design, the cable features a tough polypropylene outer jacket that resists UV exposure and abrasion, while a lubricated core liner surrounds the stainless steel core to maintain flexibility and resist corrosion. A 100% wire-wrapped outer conduit adds strength and durability, and the sealed lubrication system with nickel-plated fittings ensures long-lasting performance even in harsh saltwater and freshwater conditions.

Sizing & Replacement Tips: To determine the correct cable length, read the length 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. Replace cables when you notice excessive free play, stiffness, chafing, bending, or any broken or loose components. Do not lubricate the core, and avoid tight or sharp bends during installation.
