Throttle Linkage Rod 13in

The King Racing Products Throttle Linkage Rod 13in is a precision aluminum control rod engineered for small-displacement marine engines and outboards that demand reliable throttle synchronization. At 13 inches in length with a 10-32 female thread connection, this linkage rod serves as a critical mechanical bridge between throttle lever and carburettor or fuel injection systems, ensuring responsive and consistent throttle response across acceleration ranges.

Constructed from aluminum and finished in black anodize, the throttle linkage rod resists corrosion in salt and fresh water environments while maintaining the low weight essential for quick throttle actuation. The anodized finish provides a protective oxide layer that extends service life in humid and spray-exposed marine conditions. At 0.06 lbs, the minimal weight eliminates unnecessary inertia, allowing the throttle cable or mechanical linkage to move the rod instantaneously without lag—critical when piloting in tight waters or during acceleration maneuvers.

This rod is ideal for weekend anglers and serious boaters rebuilding or restoring outboards, portable motors, and small gasoline engines where original throttle linkage has worn or seized. The 10-32 female threaded end accommodates standard marine control cable terminals and rod-end fittings common across King Racing Products and compatible aftermarket throttle systems. Replacement is straightforward—remove the worn rod, thread the new unit into position, and verify full throttle range before operating. Weekend fishermen maintaining aging rigs and restoration specialists rebuilding small-block racing and marine powerplants rely on this rod for predictable, smooth throttle control.
