Making Sense of Marine Control Cables

22 Comments

Marine control cables for both throttle and shift are never a problem – until they give you problems. Depending on the vintage of your boat, you may have an old Morse cable or an early Teleflex cable. Your original cable may have lasted for 20+ years (and your new one should last longer) but first you need to figure out what to get to replace that throttle or shift cable. Also note, if one is sticking, the other will follow. Replace both cables at the same time and you will be able to go another 20 years+.

Identifying your cable and what you need:

  1. Look at your cable and find any numbers on it.
  2. Old Morse cables will begin with 6 digits, then 2 then the length in inches. For example Morse # 032377-03-0144 = a 33C style cable that is 144 inches (12 feet) long.
  3. Older Teleflex cables will have a part number that will look like CC17912, which translates into a CC179 Series, 12 feet long.
  4. Identify your ends. If both ends of the cable have a 10-32 thread, then you likely have a common 33C. 40 series has 1/4-28 thread both ends and 60 Series has 5/16-24 thread both ends.
  5. Lastly, you can just measure what you have.

Measuring your cable:

Measure your cable from tip to tip and then round up to the next foot. Replacement control cables are sold in one foot increments. OMC and Mercury cables tend to use specialized ends. Nearly every other manufacturer of outboards, sterndrives and inboard engines uses 33C style control cables. The most common throttle and shift cables on a sailboat are the 33C.

All throttle, shift and control cables are considered as replacement cables. You will need to know how long your cable is and the manufacturer of your controls and engine.

    I have a Honda BF8A w/bracket for remote control & a Merc Side mount Control. I am buying the TFXtreme Control Cable CCX633, 8′ Length.
    Questions:
    -Will I need a Connection Kit for the motor end?
    -Will I need a Connection Kit for the Control end?
    -Existing cable broken & wrong length- What is correct length for 12′ boat?

    Bob,
    First, measuring the length. The easiest way is to lead a cable, wire or rope to the engine from the control. Measure this and add one foot. There is no ‘cheat sheet’ for determining the cable length by boat length.
    So I can confirm, you are wanting to take a 33C style cable and connect it from a Mercury control to a Honda outboard.
    The easiest way to do this is with these components (and it is pretty easy):
    The Mercury control end will use the 33c adapter.
    http://www.go2marine.com/product/154458F/mercury-mariner-control-adaptor-for-33c-cable.html
    The Honda end takes the 33C end of the cable.
    Then you can choose any 33c type cable.

    For engines under 40 hp, use Teleflex part number CA27208P

    I have replace the old Volvo MD11 c engine in my boat with a new beta Marine 25hp. I need longer control cables to fit the new engine but am unsure what the end fittings should be. The fittings on the new engine are different than on the Volvo and I can find no markings on the old cables. Both ends of the old cables are the same.
    Thanks

    If the cables have a 10/32 thread use 30 series ball joints.

    It depends on what cable you have. What are the numbers on the old cable?

    I have a 1977 Volvo Penta MB10A gasoline (15hp) engine in my sailboat that needs a new throttle cable. The controls are side mount and marked as Volvo, but look similar to Morse controls. The current cable ends are 10/32 thread. Can you recommend a replacement cable?

    I have a 1973 Evinrude engine and want to hook up an early 80′s control box. Will i need to use the pre 79 or post 79 cables? Will this work even work?
    Thanks

  • Mike says:
    January 24, 2013 at 9:53 am

    I would use a CCX633 style cables and get the pre 79 adapters for the engine end and the post 79 adapters for the control box.

    I am replacing the shift cables on a Hatteras Sportsfish. The existing cables are Morse 33C—-lengths of 24 ft. and 28 ft.

    Based on your website info, I require CCX633 cables as replacements.
    Am I correct that I do not require any additional connections—-”simply” unscrew one set and screw on the replacement?

    Straight run from the bridge to the engine room. Perhaps a stupid question but ballpark—as a DIY—how long would you project for this job?

    Thx

  • Mike says:

    Correct, these are direct replacements for the 33C cables. As for time, it all depends on how many places they tie wraped the cables. You will need to cut them to remove the old cables and pull the new ones.
