You're mid-repair on a boat that's been around since the late '80s. Do you need a replacement shift cable or hatch hardware? A shift cable cannot fix a hatch, and hatch hardware cannot restore throttle response. The two marine replacement parts on your shortlist solve different problems, so the right pick comes down to which system is actually failing.
Quick Verdict
If the problem is shifting or throttle response on a Johnson/Evinrude outboard, the Teleflex Type 400 19Ft Shift Control Cable at $69.99 is the part to order. If you are replacing a hatch handle, post, O-rings, or screws, the Hatch Replacement Parts at $62.99 covers those pieces and costs slightly less. They are not interchangeable; one is a cable, the other is a hatch hardware set.
Comparison at a Glance
| Product | Price | Intended job | Key details |
|---|---|---|---|
| Teleflex Type 400 19Ft Shift Control Cable Part# CC17019 | USD 69.99 | Shift/throttle cable for outboard motor parts | Part number CC17019; new old stock |
| Hatch Replacement Parts for 1987-1993 Model Compatible With Boating | USD 62.99 | Hatch hardware for older boating models | Black; 1 lb; sold individually |
Where Each Product Wins
The Teleflex cable wins when the repair is a control-cable replacement. Its part number removes guesswork from the order, and it gives you a cable intended for the shift/throttle side of an outboard. The Hatch Replacement Parts win when the hatch is what needs attention. They are a hatch hardware set rather than a cable, so the choice comes down to which system on the boat is actually failing. Let that decide before you compare anything else.
Product Notes
Teleflex Type 400 19Ft Shift Control Cable Part# CC17019 Outboard Motor Parts
The Teleflex cable is the choice when your repair list starts with a shift or throttle cable for a Johnson/Evinrude outboard. It comes in at 19 feet, which gives you a workable length for routing from the controls to the engine, and the CC17019 part number keeps the order specific. It is sold as new old stock, so the cable itself is new but the packaging can show minor wear from storage. The limitation is that this does nothing for a loose or broken hatch handle; it's a cable, not a hatch hardware set. If the boat's problem is in the control system, this is the part that addresses it.
Hatch Replacement Parts for 1987-1993 Model Compatible With Boating
When your boat is from the 1987-1993 era and the hatch needs attention, this set gives you the main pieces for the job: a black handle with post, O-rings, and screws. At 1 lb, the hardware is light enough to handle during installation, and because it's sold individually, you can order only the hatch pieces you actually need. The limitation is that this is not a control cable; it won't help with shifting or throttle problems. It is also aimed at 1987-1993 boating models, so it's not described as a match for every hatch on the water. For a hatch repair on an older boat, this is the direct replacement path.
Final Choice by Use Case
If you're replacing a shift or throttle cable, choose the Teleflex Type 400 Shift Control Cable. Its part number makes it straightforward to order the right cable, and it is the part that addresses the control system directly.
If you're servicing a boat's hatch hardware, choose the Hatch Replacement Parts set. It covers the main pieces for the latch area, so you can keep the project moving without tracking down separate parts.
Take the time to confirm whether you're working on the control system or the hatch. In short: match the part to the failing system. The Teleflex is a control cable; the Hatch Replacement Parts are hatch hardware. Both are marine replacement parts, but they solve different problems.
