Lower Cable Assembly Kit For Cobra Drives 1988-1993 - 18-2245 Replacement With Gasket

Boat owners with Cobra drives, this lower cable assembly kit is exactly what you need for replacements! The OE number is 18-2245, and it's also compatible with numbers 987661, 27-00475, and 21715 - it's designed based on original specifications to fit perfectly. This kit is specifically for Cobra drives from 1988-1993 with standard carbureted engines. Important note: it does NOT fit King Cobra models or fuel injected applications, so double-check your setup before ordering. The cable is made from PVC, wire rope, and metal materials that resist heat and impact, giving you long-lasting performance that stands up to marine conditions. The whole point of this kit is to make replacing old, damaged cables on your outboard or stern drive way easier. The performance is optimized for all weather conditions, so whether you're in choppy saltwater or calm freshwater, you can count on smooth operation. Here's the best part: you don't need to remove the entire external drive to replace your cable! The kit includes a new outdrive mounting gasket set that simplifies the installation process. The package includes one cable, one gasket, and an accessory pack with 8 additional parts - everything you need for a complete replacement job. Quick tip: it will also work on earlier 1986 and 1987 models, but ONLY if the cable and arm have been updated to the red cable system. It won't replace the original black cable on 1986-1987 models unless you've done that update. The materials are chosen for durability and long service life, which means less waste from frequent replacements and more savings for you over time. Having a reliable lower cable is crucial for proper boat operation and control, so don't settle for questionable aftermarket parts. This kit gives you that peace of mind knowing you're installing quality components that match original specifications. Before buying, definitely verify your part numbers and model details to avoid returns - the seller even suggests contacting them if you're unsure, which is pretty helpful!
