21633502 Control Cable | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

🔧 Product Description

Volvo Penta's standard control cables are manufactured of corrosion-resistant material with an outer sheath of HD polyethylene. They are designed following Volvo Penta's extremely stringent requirements for efficient operation with minimum play, and are permanently lubricated to ensure minimum friction and long service life. This is the 31 ft (9.45 m) length.

🔌 Function

Connects the helm control to the engine throttle, the reversing gear or the sterndrive shift mechanism, transmitting lever movement along a push-pull inner wire so the engine follows the control head.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Throttle or shift lever feels heavy and notchy where it used to move smoothly
• Gear will not engage fully, or the throttle does not drop cleanly back to idle
• Lost travel at the lever before the engine or gearbox answers it
• Outer conduit kinked, chafed or split, with rust weeping from an end fitting
• Inner wire found dry, corroded or seized in the conduit once it is withdrawn

🛠️ Service Notes

• Measure the run in as straight a line as you can from the control mechanism to the engine or transmission connection, allow a 200 mm radius for every bend, and take the longer cable if the figure falls between two listed lengths - the cables must not be cut to size
• The standard range runs from 5 ft (21633476) to 50 ft (21633521) in one-foot steps and the published weights do not climb cleanly with length, so order by the measured run rather than by mass
• The low-friction Xact cable in the same 31 ft length is 21407244 if the run is long or has several bends - check the end-fitting requirement at the control head before changing range
• These cables use the same connections as Control Cable 333, so they go straight onto a Volvo Penta engine remote control system in its place
• The range is supplied in fixed one-foot steps from 5 to 50 foot; order the length the run actually needs rather than cutting a cable down
• 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
• A single engine installation requires two cables and a twin installation requires four
