Control cable replacement - Mariner 40HP

Moody Blue · #1 March 15th, 2005, 03:04 PM

Will be moving the side console and control box and need to replace the control and steering cables as a result. The original control cables have the following printed on them - QUICKSILVER 08 20 84 7FT. What do I use if switching to Teleflex ? Are there other mfr's to choose from ? Is there a cross reference available ? The motor is a 1992/1993 Mariner Magnum 40HP with a Quicksilver control box. Please read my post in Boat Topics and Questions for the details on the steering cable. Thanks.

Moving them to where? Do you need longer ones? iboats sells the throttle and shifter cable for like $20 each or so.

Hope I answered your question right.

Sorry, I should have mentioned I will need longer cables. I've looked at Teleflex but not sure if they are compatible with the existing Quicksilver type. Teleflex has so many types I'm not sure what to choose.

There is only one type for mercury, take a look at the link above, thats what you need.
