The 12ft Throttle Shift Remote Control Cable has received a mixed response from customers, with many expressing dissatisfaction regarding its overall performance and build quality. While some users noted that it worked as intended with their Johnson/Evinrude engines, there were significant issues raised that overshadowed the product's usability. Common concerns included poor quality control, with reports of small holes in the cable that required filing to fit properly. Additionally, customers reported kinking of the cables upon arrival, higher friction, and an overall grittier motion compared to older OMC cables they were replacing. A particularly alarming review highlighted a catastrophic failure where the shift cable broke unexpectedly after just a few outings, putting the customer in a potentially dangerous situation on the water. This left many users questioning the durability and reliability of these cables, prompting recommendations to invest in well-known brands instead. In summary, while the installation may initially succeed, the long-term reliability of the 12ft Throttle Shift Remote Control Cable appears to be in question, prompting a cautionary note for potential buyers. **
