Sierra Shift Cable 18-2145E, Replaces Mercury Marine 815471/815471A3/815471A6, Bravo One/Two/Three & Integrated Transom

The Sierra 18-2145E is a replacement shift cable engineered for Mercury Marine Bravo drive units. It connects the shift control at the helm to the drive unit, transmitting the operator's shift input into gear engagement, and is a direct fit for boats using Bravo One, Two, and Three drives (all ratios) as well as Bravo One X/Two X/Three X, Bravo One XR/XZ, and Bravo One XR Sportmaster configurations, including Integrated Transom applications.

Constructed from metal with an aluminum handle and a screw-type handle attachment, this cable is built to hold up to repeated shifting cycles in a marine environment. It carries a round, machined cable end and is designed to install as a like-for-like swap for the OEM cable it replaces, restoring precise, positive shift engagement without slop or hesitation at the control end.

This shift cable directly replaces Mercury Marine part numbers 815471, 815471A3, and 815471A6, so it is a straightforward upgrade or replacement for boats currently running one of those OEM cables.
