When you're working on a boat and need marine replacement parts, two very different fixes often end up on the same workbench: a shift or throttle control cable, or a hatch handle kit. Choosing the wrong one means another trip to the parts bin. This head-to-head compares the Teleflex Type 400 16ft shift control cable (part CC17016) at $69.99 with the Hatch Replacement Parts set for 1987-1993 models at $62.99 to help you match the part to the job.
Quick Verdict
If your repair is about restoring crisp shift or throttle response on an outboard, the Teleflex CC17016 is the direct replacement cable. If you're rebuilding a deck hatch on an older boat, the Hatch Replacement Parts kit includes the handle, O-rings, and screws you need at a slightly lower price.
Comparison
| Product | Price | Price Bar | Best For | Condition |
| Teleflex Type 400 16ft Shift Cable (CC17016) | $69.99 | | Shift or throttle cable replacement | New old stock |
| Hatch Replacement Parts for 1987-1993 Models | $62.99 | | Hatch handle, O-ring, and screw repair | New |
Where Each Product Wins
- Teleflex CC17016 wins for: outboard shift and throttle cable replacement, with a 16-foot length, Teleflex as the brand, and a specific part number (CC17016) for direct matching. It's the higher-priced item at $69.99, but it targets a precise mechanical function.
- Hatch Replacement Parts wins for: hatch hardware repair, with a handle with post, O-rings, and screws included in one kit. It's new, black, lightweight at 1 lb, and costs $62.99-a $7.00 spread from the Teleflex cable.
Product Notes
Teleflex Type 400 16Ft Shift Control Cable Part# CC17016 Outboard Motor Parts
This is a 16-foot shift or throttle control cable with part number CC17016, designed for outboard motor applications. It's listed as new old stock, so the part itself is functionally new but the packaging may show minor storage wear. The Teleflex name and the specific part number give you a direct replacement match for Johnson/Evinrude control systems. Choose this cable when your current shift or throttle cable has stretch, stiffness, or corrosion and you want a like-for-like replacement. The key limitation is that it's a cable only-you won't get any mounting hardware or handles in this purchase, and the "new other" condition means you should expect possible cosmetic packaging wear. At $69.99, it's the higher-priced option here, but it targets a specific mechanical function rather than a hatch repair.
Hatch Replacement Parts for 1987-1993 Model Compatible With Boating
This is a hatch repair kit designed to fit boat models from 1987 to 1993. It includes a handle with post, O-rings, and screws, allowing you to replace worn or broken hatch hardware. The parts are new, black in color, and weigh only 1 lb, making installation straightforward. If your boat's hatch latch no longer seals properly or the handle has snapped, this kit gives you the essential components in one purchase at $62.99. The main limitation is its scope: the kit only covers hatch hardware-it won't help with cables, latches beyond the included handle, or other marine systems, and it's intended for the 1987-1993 model range rather than universal fit. For a straightforward hatch refresh, this is the more affordable, complete option.
Final Choice by Use Case
Choose the Teleflex CC17016 for shift or throttle cable replacement on an outboard motor. Choose the Hatch Replacement Parts for hatch handle and seal refurbishment on a 1987-1993 boat. If you're watching price and need hatch hardware, the $7.00 difference makes the Hatch kit the lighter hit to your wallet.
