      Mercruiser Control Cables

      When you push the throttle, you want quick response. You expect your Mercruiser engine to be up for the job when you give it the go. A high-quality control cable is essential to connect your propulsion unit to the control head, guaranteeing a smoothly operating shift and throttle system. Wholesale Marine has the Mercruiser control cables you need, supplying you with control cables from Teleflex Marine.

      A Foundation for You

      When selecting Mercruiser control cables for your sterndrive, inboard, or tow sport engine, keep in mind the following; your control cables are affected by 5 key variables : Backlash, breakaway, efficiency, cable routing, and environment. Backlash refers to the leftover motion put into your cable from the input end to the output end, felt as free play at your control handle. It’s affected by the core and outer casing of your cable. Breakaway is how quickly the engine responds once the control is pushed and the feel of the cable when in motion. Efficiency is the percentage of force you must apply to your control for output to be produced. Cable routing is the path that the cable takes from input end to output end. Environment refers to the climate and surroundings, such as heavy UV exposure or extreme temperatures, that a cable sits through. If we lost you at “variables” and you are just hoping to select an impressive, high quality Mercruiser control cable that you can depend on to meet superior performance in all of these areas, then a Teleflex Marine control cable is just what you need.
