SAE J917_200412

This SAE Standard covers dimensions, performance parameters and nomenclature of a push-pull control cable used in inboard marine engine applications.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 depend 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.
