Product Details

The WSM 983-140 Shift Snake Cable Installer is a purpose-built specialty tool designed to simplify the removal and installation of intermediate shift cables in inboard/outboard lower units. This tool makes what is traditionally a frustrating, two-person job into a quick, single-technician task — saving significant time on the workbench.

How It Works:

  • Screw the swivel male threads directly into the existing shift cable
  • Pull the old cable out through the drive unit
  • Thread the new replacement cable onto the shift snake
  • Pull the new cable back through in a single smooth motion

Key Features:

  • Plastic-coated cable — 5 feet in length for flexible routing through tight passages
  • Swivel male thread connector — attaches securely to standard intermediate shift cables
  • Single-person operation — eliminates the need for a second technician during cable replacement
  • Compatible with Mercruiser intermediate shift cable applications — including cables 19543A4, 19543A8, 19543A10, and 865436A02

The WSM 983-140 is an essential addition to any marine technician's or serious DIY boater's toolbox. Manufactured by WSM Performance Parts to meet stringent quality standards, this shift snake installer delivers reliable performance job after job.

Great prices and helpful customer service.

Very quick &amp; easy, hope it shows up sooner than later..

Easy website to use

Amazingly cheap prices for what i was looking for, best online and pretty fast shipping. Took awhile for my order to be confirmed though, not sure why. But still impressed with the price set.

The listed matching vehicles were a little vague, still a little uncertain if the part will fit, will have to find out for sure once it arrives
