Control cables IC5 · IMNASA

Cable brand: IMNASA. Mechanical control cable for transmitting throttle or shift movement between the control lever and the engine in compatible installations.

Suitable engines: Mercury, Mariner, MerCruiser. Before choosing, compare both end fittings, thread or attachment type, cable series, control, engine, year and required travel. Adapters may be needed. Matching the engine brand and length alone does not guarantee a fit.

• Travel: 95 mm
• Outer casing diameter: 7 mm

How to choose and measure the cable

The ordering length is given in feet and its equivalent in metres. 1 foot = 0,3048 m: 9 feet = 2,7432 m (approx. 2,74 m). The metres shown are rounded to two decimal places; the commercial size that identifies the part number is the length in feet.

For IMNASA part numbers, feet identify the nominal ordering length in the catalogue. The documentation consulted does not provide a separate casing dimension or define the measurement plane for each end fitting: first check the series and length printed on the old cable. If you only know the casing measurement, confirm the part number before buying; do not subtract or add a fixed measurement for the end fittings.

For a new installation, measure along the entire actual route from the control to the throttle or shift connection, including bends. For outboards, the catalogue diagram adds 3 feet (approx. 0,91 m) to allow for engine movement. For inboards and sterndrives, the A+B route is used. Choose the next available commercial length that covers the required route and avoid excess cable and tight bends.

Casing length, diameter and travel

The length of the outer casing, its diameter and the working travel are different measurements. For example, a casing diameter of 8,6 mm indicates its outside thickness; a travel of 80 mm indicates the usable displacement of the end fitting. Neither value is the cable length. The separate casing length is not published for these part numbers and is not calculated by subtracting the travel.

Before choosing, compare both end fittings, thread or attachment type, cable series, control, engine, year and required travel. Adapters may be needed. Matching the engine brand and length alone does not guarantee a fit.
