IMPORTANT: GEN 2 control cables are required with the GEN 2 remote controls. The
remote control cables must be the correct length. Sharp bends when the cables are too
short result in kinks. Cables that are too long require unnecessary bends and/or loops.
Both conditions place extra stress on the cables resulting in unfavorable shift and throttle
operation. The minimum bend radius of the remote control cable is 30.5 cm (12 in.). For
applications that require smaller than the minimum radius, multiple bends or lengths
longer than 5.5 m (18 ft.), Mercury/Quicksilver GEN 2 Platinum or Premium cables are
required. Refer to the Mercury Precision Parts and Accessory guide.
IMPORTANT: Lubricate the shift cable and throttle cable with 2‑4‑C with Teflon on the
locations shown in the following graphic.
