Quicksilver Throttle and Shift Cable Platinum Plus Generation I

The Quicksilver Platinum Plus Generation I throttle and shift cable (also called a Gen I remote control cable or throttle/shift control cable) links the helm control to the engine. It carries lever movement to the engine's throttle and gear-shift mechanisms. It is built for Mercury Generation I mechanical control systems, and it replaces cables that have become stiff, worn or loose.

Key Features:

• Polypropylene outer jacket: resists UV exposure and abrasion in marine environments.
• 22 oil-tempered wires: add compression strength and durability.
• Lubricated core liner: holds up in harsh marine conditions and stays flexible.
• Patented hexagonal design: keeps contact with the liner to a minimum for smooth, low-drag operation.
• Stainless steel core: handles heavy compression loads and stays flexible for demanding rigging layouts.
• Generation I connections: for Mercury control systems that use Gen I cable ends. Gen I and Gen II ends are different and do not interchange.

Platinum Plus cables are made for long service life and for use in all weather, including temperatures down to 0 degrees Fahrenheit. They suit both throttle and shift functions. Replacing the cables in pairs is common practice when servicing an aging control system.
