Throttle Cable LS1 48in Long Black

The Throttle Cable LS1 48in Long Black from Specialty Products Company is a heavy-duty marine throttle control cable engineered for GM LS-series engines. At 4 feet in length, this cable is purpose-built for boats where engine placement requires extended throttle runs between the helm control and the engine mounted in the transom or engine compartment. The black polyurethane housing provides weather-resistant protection and corrosion resistance in the salt-air and freshwater marine environment.

This 48-inch throttle cable is manufactured to OEM specifications for LS-series applications, ensuring precise cable actuation without binding or hesitation when advancing or retarding engine RPM. The polyurethane housing resists UV degradation, moisture intrusion, and the corrosive effects of marine environments better than standard vinyl jackets. The cable's length accommodates larger center consoles, express cruisers, and offshore boats where the control station sits well forward of the engine bay. Proper cable routing and secure clamping at both ends are essential for safe operation and optimal throttle response.

Weekend anglers running LS-swapped fishing boats and serious offshore captains upgrading engine control systems will find this cable critical for reliable throttle management. Whether replacing worn original equipment or installing a retrofit setup, the 48-inch length eliminates the need for adapter cables on many custom rigging scenarios. Installation requires basic tools and a clear path for cable routing through the helm tube or conduit—measure your existing cable or consult your engine manufacturer's installation guide to confirm fit before ordering.

LS-series engines have become standard in retrofit and custom marine applications for their reliability and compact design. Throttle cable compatibility is non-negotiable—using the correct cable length and terminal configuration prevents control lag, safety hazards, and potential engine damage from cable slack or over-extension. Specialty Products Company has established itself as a reliable source for OEM-spec LS control components for marine builders and restoration shops across North America.
