Detailed description
Mechanical control cable for transmitting throttle or shift movement between the control lever and the engine in compatible installations.
Applications listed in the catalogue: Yamaha, Suzuki, Tohatsu, Honda, Selva, Force; Volvo, Yanmar, Volkswagen. Check the series, end fittings, travel and length of the installed cable. The engine brand alone does not confirm compatibility: the control and its connections must also match.
- Series: Riviera AS08
- IMNASA reference: AS08-36'
- Length: 36 feet (10,97 m)
Measure the full route between the control and the engine, including the necessary bends. Install the cable without tight bends or chafing and check the full throttle or shift movement before using the boat.
Sold individually. Throttle and shift may require separate cables. Representative photograph of the series, shared across its different lengths.
How to choose and measure the cable
The ordering length is stated in feet with 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 identifying the reference is the length in feet.
When replacing a Riviera or Ultraflex cable, the manufacturer specifies measuring the complete cable from end to end, including its end fittings, and checking the length marked on the sheath. Do not measure only the outer sheath section. If the previous installation was correct, do not add the allowance for engine turning again to the old cable measurement.
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 engine movement. For inboards and sterndrives, route A+B is used. Choose the next available commercial length that covers the required route and avoid excess cable and tight bends.
Sheath length, diameter and travel
The outer sheath length, its diameter and the working travel are different measurements. For example, a sheath diameter of 8,6 mm indicates its outer thickness; a travel of 80 mm indicates the usable displacement of the end fitting. Neither of these values is the cable length. The separate sheath length is not published for these references 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 required. Matching the engine brand and length alone does not guarantee a fit.
