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 controls matching 8-foot length, end threads, and travel
Product Overview
A stiff lever, delayed gear engagement, cracked cable jacket, corrosion, or excessive free play can make docking and throttle control unpredictable. This matched pair renews both throttle and shift cables where the helm-to-engine route measures for an 8-foot cable.
33C describes a cable style, not automatic fitment. Measure the routing path, end fittings, thread, stroke, bend radius, and control box before ordering.
