Lewmar 22m Gen2 Control Cable

The Lewmar 22m Gen2 Control Cable is a marine-grade steering control cable engineered for sailboats, powerboats, and other vessels requiring reliable helm control systems. This 22-meter cable is specifically designed to integrate with Lewmar's Gen 2 control heads, delivering the extended reach necessary for boats with substantial helm-to-engine or helm-to-steering system distances. Whether you're upgrading an existing system, replacing worn cable, or installing new remote steering, this control cable provides the length and durability demanded by modern marine applications.

Built to Lewmar's exacting marine engineering standards, the Gen2 Control Cable features a robust internal core and durable outer sheath designed to withstand saltwater exposure, UV degradation, and repeated mechanical actuation. The cable's construction ensures smooth, responsive throttle and shift control with minimal friction loss over its full 22-meter length—critical for maintaining precise engine command and fuel efficiency. Weighing just 2 pounds, the cable remains manageable during installation while maintaining structural integrity and long-term reliability in demanding marine environments where corrosion resistance and mechanical consistency are non-negotiable.

This control cable is fully compatible with Lewmar Gen 2 control heads (models 589223, 589268, and 589267), making it an ideal replacement or upgrade component for vessels already equipped with these proven systems. Installation requires proper routing through cable conduits and secure attachment at both helm and engine control points to ensure optimal performance and safety. Marine technicians and experienced boat owners appreciate the 22-meter length for mid-to-large vessels where standard shorter cables fall short, and the cable's modular design allows for straightforward integration into existing steering architectures without full system replacement.
