Quicksilver 8M0082546 Throttle and Shift Cable Gen II Platinum Plus 23 Ft

The Quicksilver 8M0082546 is an OEM replacement Generation II throttle and shift cable measuring 23 feet in length. Engineered by Mercury Marine under the Quicksilver Platinum Plus line, this cable is built for long life and maximum performance in all weather conditions, including temperatures below 0°F.

Determining the correct replacement cable is straightforward — read the length and part number printed on your existing cable, or measure the path from the control to the engine throttle/shift attachment point along the unobstructed cable route. For outboard installations, add 18 inches to your measured length.

Key Features:

• Generation II (Gen 2) connections — designed for Mercury, Mariner, and MerCruiser Gen II remote controls
• Layered technology construction — provides smooth, precise throttle and shift operation
• Polypropylene outer jacket — UV and abrasion resistant for long-term marine durability
• Lubricated core liner — surrounds the stainless steel core to resist the harsh marine environment while remaining flexible
• 22 oil-tempered wires — deliver increased compression strength and durability
• Patented hexagonal core shape — minimizes contact with the liner for reduced friction and smoother operation
• Stainless steel core — handles tough compression loads while staying flexible for demanding installations

When to Replace Your Cable:

• Excessive free play or stiffness felt at the control
• Visible chafing, broken, bent, or loose components
• Throttle and shift cables cannot be repaired — only replaced

Installation Notes: Remove the old cable and install the replacement in reverse order using common hand tools. Do not lubricate the core. Avoid tight or sharp bends during routing. This is a direct OEM replacement part sold as a single cable.
