Compatible Models
We do our best to list all compatible models. Although this may be the part you need, your exact model may not appear below.
- Yamaha outboard installations using compatible 33C-style cables
- Universal marine control systems matching 12-foot length, threads, and travel
Product Overview
Corroded inner cables, cracked jackets, tight bends, and worn ends can make the helm lever stiff or prevent full gear and throttle travel. This 12-foot pair renews both control runs for boats whose measured routing calls for this length.
Cable length must follow the existing route with broad bends and service loops. Compare end threads, stroke, control box, engine bracket, and the old cable marking.

Northline Parts does its best to list all known compatible models, but the correct part may fit an application not shown.
Boat length alone does not determine cable length. Control box, engine, end fittings, travel, and measured route must match.
