OEM-Engineered Control Cables for Mercury Marine Applications
As the official parts brand of Mercury Marine, Quicksilver manufactures Mercury 600A Type Cables that set the standard for throttle and shift control in marine applications. These cables are engineered specifically for Mercury outboards, MerCruiser sterndrives, and Mariner engines from 1965 forward, delivering the precise fit and reliable performance that comes from factory-designed components.
Platinum Plus Series Technology
Quicksilver's Mercury 600A Type Cables are built with Platinum Plus technology, featuring a larger diameter construction and 100% wire-wrapped outer conduit that provides exceptional strength and durability. The high-efficiency inner core design ensures smoother shifting and throttle response, even in the longest and most complex cable routings found in larger boats. These cables incorporate nickel-plated fittings and a sealed lubrication system that resists corrosion in harsh saltwater environments, maintaining smooth operation season after season.
Factory-Correct Fitment and Compatibility
Available in multiple lengths ranging from 6 to 40 feet, Quicksilver 600A Type Cables are designed for use with Mercury Gen I single-lever controls and fit Pre-Alpha, R, MR, and Alpha One MerCruiser sterndrives, as well as Mercury outboards. These cables replace original Mercury part numbers in the 897977A__ and 850716A__ series, ensuring drop-in compatibility with existing control heads and engine connections. The cables feature stainless steel and brass fittings that match factory specifications, eliminating the need for adapters or modifications in most applications.
Built for Maximum Performance in All Conditions
Engineered to perform in temperatures down to 0 degrees Fahrenheit, Quicksilver's 600A Type Cables employ layered technology structure that creates a smooth-operating, durable control system. The cables are designed to minimize lost motion and maintain precise control response, which is critical for safe maneuvering at the dock or maintaining accurate throttle settings on plane. The protective outer casing resists UV degradation and chemical exposure, ensuring long service life even when routed through engine compartments and exposed areas.
When to Replace Your Control Cables
Quicksilver recommends replacing control cables when you notice excessive free play at the control lever, increased stiffness during shifting or throttle adjustment, or visible damage such as chafing, broken strands, or bent fittings. Regular inspection of these critical control components helps ensure responsive engine control and safe boat operation. As the OEM manufacturer, Quicksilver provides the exact replacement cables originally installed on Mercury-powered boats, maintaining the performance and reliability that boaters expect from genuine Mercury parts.
