It uses new style armored strand construction with no support tube, paired with a 54 inch conduit, so the cable transmits shift input from the control station to the drive with a durable, flexible core built for the marine environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe cable ships with a complete hardware package, including a Sierra 18-0318 washer and a 0.375-24 nut, so the installation has the fasteners needed to complete the job without sourcing them separately. Its alloy steel construction and white finish are built to hold up under repeated shifting and outdoor marine exposure. Overall product dimensions are 19 inches L x 14 inches W, and the unit weighs 1.2 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis shift cable directly replaces a range of original equipment part numbers, making it a straightforward swap for boats using the applicable Mercruiser #1 Drive within the stated serial number range.
