Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Are these cables compatible with Gen II Mercury controls? A: No, these cables are specifically for Gen I control boxes. Gen II systems use a different end fitting and cable design.

Q: How do I determine if 13 feet is the correct length? A: Measure the existing cable from the control box connection to the engine along the existing routing; if the measurement is near 13 feet, this set will fit.

Product appearance and specifications may vary slightly by batch. Compatibility may vary by serial number. Verify fitment before purchase.
