Be careful or you may kink the cable, but works good and I think the cable is a little heaver then the original brand.

The end is crimped on and pulled apart when shifting to reverse.

cable case was to large for the bellows boot to slip over. had to grind it down to make it fit. boat in the water 2 weeks and the inner cable broke. had to haul boat out remove drive to replace inner cable. cheap cable cost me big bucks to replace. stick to oem mercuriser parts.

The price reflects the quality of this product, I have changed hundreds of these lower cables over the years and never have come across such poor quality , the outer cable is junk, the inner shift cable end that goes up to the shift mechanism is to long and has vers sharp edges , is very hard to thread through the outer sleeve. The shift dolly that the inner cable goes through that connects to the shift did not have a stop.This job installing a lower shift cable is hard enough and with this product makes almost to difficult.If you use this product make sure your old parts are available you might need them.NEVER WILL I USE THEM AGAIN.

the price was fantastic. i havent installed the new shift cable in the boat yet. but i matched it up to the old one that has lasted 35 years. its the correct cable and i know its made in china but it looks like its as good quality. so i know its going to fix the problem so i have nothing negetive to say about it. can'tbeat the price

Worthless trash(and not the fun kind). I'm not into kink shaming... But there was a serious kink inside the cable body that will not allow it to shift smoothly. I got stuck out on the water and had to pull the cable manually with pliers to get back to shore. I pulled the out drive off and everything moves smoothly except the cable. You can feel a hard spot about 1/3 the way up the cable sheath. Also, when I first installed the cable into the aluminum shift bar, it pulled right through the body. I had to beat it with a hammer to make it wide enough to catch on the tiny ridge inside the shift arm body. The cherry on top is that during removal of this cable to fix the problem, the thing breaks off in the housing! I'm sure some of these cables work just fine, and I'm the unlucky guy who got junk...but if you have it all apart and are making the repair, don't be cheap like me and get a decent cable that you know will work. Not worth the hassle.

The kit it great, but the proverbial frosting on the cake would have been some instructions and pointers would have been greatly appreciated!!!

Fit my 1969 24’ cabin cruiser merc 165 l6 with the mc1. I can use and adjust my engine engine interrupter switch now that I have a smooth sliding cable. I have nothing to Compare it with but it works and the kit had all the fittings to replace everything that was worn out. It Did not feel cheese ball. Had too straighten one end of the cable perfect to get the eyelet on. Very tight tolerance. But that was easy compared to the rest of the job. I did the bellows and gimbal bearing while I was in there.
