Detailed description
Mechanical control cable for transmitting throttle or gear 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.
Minimum-friction design according to IMNASA.
- Series: IMNASA EEC-043 / C22
- IMNASA reference: 13175069
- Length: 9 feet (2,74 m)
- Travel: 80 mm
- Outer casing diameter: 11 mm
Measure the full routing distance between the control and the engine, including the necessary bends. Install the cable without sharp bends or chafing and check the full throttle or gear shift movement before using the boat.
Sold individually. The throttle and gear shift may require separate cables. Representative image of the series, shared across its different lengths.
How to choose and measure the cable
The ordering length is given 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.
For IMNASA references, the length in feet identifies 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 reference 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 gear shift connection, including bends. For outboards, the catalogue diagram adds 3 feet (approx. 0,91 m) to allow 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 sharp bends.
Casing length, diameter and travel
The outer casing length, its diameter and the working travel are different measurements. For example, a casing diameter of 8,6 mm indicates its external thickness; a travel of 80 mm indicates the usable movement of the end fitting. Neither of these values is the cable length. The separate casing length is not published for these references and is not calculated by subtracting the travel.
Before choosing, compare both end fittings, thread or fastening 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.
