Sierra 18-2190E Lower Shift Cable, 63 Inch, Mercruiser Alpha One (Gen II) 1991-97

The Sierra 18-2190E is a 63 inch lower shift cable engineered for AFT installation into the bell housing on Mercruiser Alpha One (Gen II) stern drives (1991-97), starting at S/N 6225577 and up. It is built for applications that use a core wire with armored strand construction and no support tube, matching the original factory routing and actuation feel. The cable ships as a 63 inch conduit assembly complete with a hardware package, so the mounting fittings and attaching hardware needed for a direct installation are included.

This shift cable is the OEM-equivalent replacement for a wide range of Mercruiser part numbers, making it a straightforward swap when the original cable has stretched, seized, or developed excess play that leads to sloppy or unreliable shifting. Note that completing installation requires the Sierra 18-9806E Xtreme Shift Cable Tool, which is used to properly set cable length and adjustment during the swap.
