Installation Notes
- Carefully remove the old control cable from both the engine and the remote control box, noting its routing path.
- Measure the old cable from tip to tip to confirm the new 23 ft cable is the correct length for your application.
- Route the new cable along the same path as the original, avoiding sharp bends, kinks, or areas of high heat. The minimum bend radius is 8 inches.
- Securely attach the cable ends to the engine's throttle/shift linkage and the remote control lever. Ensure all connections are tight.
- With the engine off, operate the control lever from neutral to forward and reverse. Check for smooth, unrestricted movement and confirm the engine linkage achieves its full range of motion.
- Start the engine in a safe, open area (preferably on the water) to test shifting and throttle response at low RPMs before regular use.
Troubleshooting & FAQ
How do I know if this cable is the right length?
This cable is 23 feet long. To confirm fit, measure your existing cable from tip to tip. If you are performing a new installation, measure the path from the control box to the engine, add 4 feet to account for the motor well and any turns, and round up to the next available cable length.
Will this fit my specific Honda, Suzuki, or Tohatsu outboard?
Yes, if your boat's remote control head uses a "Type 3300" or "33C" style cable, which is the industry standard for these brands. This cable is designed for the control system, not a specific engine model, making it a universal fit for boats equipped with these controls.
What are the signs that my old control cable is failing?
Common symptoms include a stiff or hard-to-move throttle/shift lever, jerky or delayed response, excessive free play in the lever before the engine responds, or visible damage like kinks, corrosion, or fraying on the cable jacket.
How does this aftermarket cable compare to an OEM part?
This part is engineered to meet or exceed original equipment manufacturer (OEM) specifications for fit, function, and durability. It features a robust stainless steel core and a UV/chemical-resistant HDPE jacket to ensure reliable performance in harsh marine conditions.
How often should I replace my control cables?
There is no strict replacement interval. We recommend inspecting cables annually for signs of wear, stiffness, or corrosion and replacing them proactively every 3-5 years, especially on boats used in saltwater, to prevent unexpected failure.
Can I install this cable myself?
Yes, installation is a common DIY task for boaters with basic mechanical skills. However, please note that incorrect installation can lead to control system failure. For safety, professional installation is always recommended.
