Hi all,

It's time for new control cables on my Force 120, but I'm not sure what exactly I'm looking for. I'm pretty experienced mechanically (with bikes, cars etc), but I'm a bit lost when it comes to the wide range of cables available.

I have a 1995 Force 120 outboard, and a square quicksilver remote control (estimated from 1993 which is when the boat was built). I think that means I need mercury cables, but will any of them do or are there specific fittings for both the Force engine and the Quicksilver controls that I need to adhere to?

The boat is a 16ft and the cables are roughly 12ft long.

Could someone more knowledgeable than me please give me a push in the right direction? I'm in the UK and a lot of this stuff seems to come from the USA, so I don't want to order the wrong thing to have to ship it back.

Much appreciated :)

Yup Mercury cables on the 95
The cables have #s stamped in it at one end or the other.
​It will have a code and length stamped there.
