Detailed description
Mercury 600 mechanical throttle or shift cable · Dometic / Teleflex · Mercury/MerCruiser.
Standard Mercury series with type 600 connection for Mercury and MerCruiser with compatible mechanical controls. Do not interchange with GEN II without checking the end fittings.
- Nominal length: 19 feet (5,79 m)
- Reference: 656019
The stated length is the complete cable length from end to end, not just the outer casing or the control travel. 1 foot = 0,3048 m. The separate outer casing length is not published. When replacing a cable, read the length printed on the old cable and compare both end fittings.
For a new Dometic installation, measure the actual routing from the control to the engine connection; for outboards, add 4 feet (1,22 m) to allow for engine movement and round up to the next commercially available whole-foot length. Do not add this allowance again to the length of an existing cable. Avoid tight bends and follow the control manual.
Check the engine model and year, control generation, mountings, travel and end fittings before choosing. The engine brand alone does not guarantee compatibility. Throttle/shift cable; not a steering cable.
Sold individually: 1 cable. Controlling both throttle and shift normally requires two cables, which may need different lengths.
