Detailed description
OMC 479 mechanical throttle or shift cable · Dometic / Teleflex · Johnson/Evinrude/OMC.
OMC series with type 479 connection for Johnson and Evinrude engines manufactured from 1979 onwards with a compatible control. Check the OMC-specific mountings at both ends.
- Nominal length: 10 feet (3,05 m)
- Reference: 039165
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 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, routing 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 to be different lengths.
