Choosing between two marine replacement parts usually starts with the repair itself. One part is a Teleflex Type 400 shift control cable for outboard motor parts. The other is a replacement part for the Pro Boat Retriever System Tug 30. The two parts are not competing for the same job. The decision is about matching the right part to the repair you need to finish.
Quick verdict
If you are replacing a shift control cable and want a Teleflex Type 400, the Teleflex cable is the part to order. If you own the Pro Boat Retriever System Tug 30 and need a replacement part for that model, the Pro Boat part is the direct match. The Pro Boat part is listed at the lower price, but the correct choice depends on the job rather than the price alone.

Where each product wins
- The Teleflex cable is the better fit when your repair is a control cable replacement and you want the Teleflex Type 400 cable. The part number gives you a specific way to match the original cable.
- The Pro Boat part is the better fit when you are working on the Retriever System Tug 30 and need a replacement part for that model. It is a new, Pro Boat-branded component that is specific to the Tug 30.
Product notes
Teleflex Type 400 20Ft Shift Control Cable Part# CC17020
The Teleflex Type 400 20Ft Shift Control Cable is the more specialised choice when your outboard repair needs a known control cable part number. It is a Type 400 cable with the CC17020 manufacturer part number, which gives you a concrete reference to match against the original cable. The condition is "New other (see details)," and the item is described as new old stock that is not in its original box. That means you should expect the part itself rather than retail packaging. That trade-off is easy to accept when the cable is going into a boat instead of onto a shelf. The limitation is the lack of the original box and the "new other" condition note. For a functional replacement, the 20-foot length and the Teleflex part number make it a solid choice.
Pro Boat Retriever System Tug 30 PRB281112 Replacement Boat Parts
The Pro Boat Retriever System Tug 30 replacement part is the direct match when you already have the Tug 30 and need a part with the PRB281112 model number. It is described as new, unused, unopened, and undamaged, and it carries the Pro Boat brand with model PRB281112. The PRB281112 model number gives you a clear way to identify the intended replacement. The limitation is that this is a model-specific replacement part, so the match depends on your project being a Retriever System Tug 30. If your repair is for a different model, you would need to look for a part with the matching model number. For someone maintaining the Tug 30, the Pro Boat part keeps the replacement decision simple.
Final choice by use case
- For a shift control cable replacement: go with the Teleflex Type 400 if the part number matches your outboard setup.
- For a Pro Boat Tug 30 repair: go with the replacement part if the model number matches the boat you are working on.
- If you are choosing between the two for general marine replacement parts, match the part number to the repair first. The two parts serve different jobs, so the part number should lead your decision.
