21407222 Control Cable | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

🔧 Product Description

Genuine Volvo Penta Xact control cable, 9 ft (2.74 m) long, weighing 0.635 kg. The Xact cables are built for the smoothest throttle and shift operation with as little lost motion as possible: all fittings are stainless steel and plated brass, and the all-stainless armoured strand core gives greater flexibility, so the cable can be taken round tighter bends where the routing is difficult. It supersedes 3851043. The standard-range cable in the same length is 21633480. It is listed for 10 applications on the D series.

🔌 Function

Carries movement from the helm control head to the engine's throttle lever or the reversing gear's shift lever, pushing and pulling a sliding inner wire inside a fixed outer conduit so the lever position set at the helm is reproduced at the engine.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Heavy or stiff at the lever, needing more force than it used to
• Lost motion at the lever before the engine or the gearbox answers
• Gear not engaging cleanly, or the throttle not reaching its stops
• Outer sheath split, kinked or chafed where the cable passes a bulkhead or bracket
• Corroded end fittings, or an inner that is stiff to work by hand once the cable is off

🛠️ Service Notes

• Measure the run in as straight a line as possible between the control mechanism and the engine or transmission connection, allow a 200 mm radius for every bend, and add 200 mm to the total; if the figure falls between two standard lengths, take the longer cable
• The cable must not be cut to size, and fewer bends mean better operation and a longer life, so order the length the run actually needs
• Supersedes 3851043, catalogued earlier as control cables - order this number if your records still show any of them
• Select the exact cable length: fewer bends mean better operation and durability
• Measure in as straight a line as possible between the control mechanism and the engine or transmission connection, and allow a radius of 200 mm for every bend, so length = A + B + 200 mm
• If the measurement falls between two standard lengths, select the longer cable
• The cables must not be cut to size
• A single engine installation requires two cables and a twin installation requires four
