Sierra 18-2190 Shift Cable, Replaces Mercury Marine 19543A10, for Mercruiser 1 Drives S/N 6225577 & Up

The Sierra 18-2190 is a shift cable built for Mercruiser 1 drives, S/N 6225577 and up, designed for AFT installation into the bell housing. It is engineered for applications that use core wire with armored strand construction and does not require a separate support tube. The cable measures 63 inches of conduit and ships with a complete hardware package, so the components needed to mount and connect the cable at both ends are included.

Constructed from aluminum for durability in a marine environment, the 18-2190 is a direct-fit replacement for the Mercury Marine shift cables it supersedes. It is intended to restore reliable shift engagement between the control station and the Mercruiser 1 drive, replacing a worn, stretched, or seized original cable so shift response stays crisp and consistent.
