Abstract

This SAE Standard covers dimensions, performance parameters, and nomenclature of a push-pull control cable used in outboard, inboard, and sterndrive marine throttle and shift applications. Purpose The flexible push-pull cable is a common motion transfer device for the remote operation of the throttle and/or shift levers on marine propulsion units. Satisfactory function of remote controls depends upon proper selection of control cable and providing adequate connection to the propulsion unit. This standard, therefore, establishes nomenclature, dimensions, performance classification, and installation recommendations for marine push-pull control cables. General The conventional marine push-pull cable is a mechanism in which an inner member is supported and guided by a conduit. Efficiency decreases with increased length and with each additional bend in the cable path. Lost motion increases with increased length and with each additional bend in the cable path. Both ends of both elements must be securely connected if the cable is to operate properly.
