If you are working on an outboard, two different breakdowns often send you shopping for the same type of marine replacement part: the motor may stop lifting the engine, or the shift/throttle control may stop responding. The Tilt Trim Motor Replacement for API Marine: PT653NM J & N 430-22123; 430-22123 is a new tilt and trim motor priced at $129.37. The Teleflex Type 400 Shift Control Cable Part# CC17016 is a shift or throttle cable priced at $69.99. Neither part can do the other's job, so the decision comes down to which symptom you are fixing.
Quick verdict
If your outboard won't move up or down and you need a tilt/trim motor, get the Tilt Trim Motor Replacement for API Marine with part number 430-22123. If your shifter or throttle feels off, get the Teleflex Type 400 Shift Control Cable with part number CC17016. The cable is less expensive, but price only matters if it's the right part for the problem.

Where each product wins
- The tilt/trim motor wins when you need a new motor that matches common interchange numbers such as 38100-92J02, 38100-92J03, 430-22123, 5033838, or 5033925.
- The Teleflex cable wins when the control run needs a 16-foot cable and you want a part listed as a Johnson/Evinrude control cable from the Teleflex Type 400 family.
Product notes
Tilt Trim Motor Replacement for API Marine: PT653NM J & N 430-22123; 430-22123
This is a new Tilt & Trim Motor from Total Power Parts, built as a 12-volt unit with an RE rotation. The listed dimensions are 3.091 inches (78.5 mm) outside diameter, 0.315 inch (8 mm) shaft outside diameter, and 4.449 inches (113 mm) length. It carries multiple interchange numbers, including 430-22123, 38100-92J02, 38100-92J03, 5033838, and 5033925, so it can stand in for a motor originally marked with one of those numbers. The reason to pick it is that it's a new motor rather than a rebuilt or used unit, and the interchange list is broad. The limitation is that it carries a California Proposition 65 warning for cancer and reproductive harm, and the motor has to be a match for the old motor on your outboard.
Teleflex Type 400 16Ft Shift Control Cable Part# CC17016
This Teleflex part is a 16-foot cable listed for Johnson/Evinrude control systems and can serve as either a shift cable or a throttle cable. It is new old stock, which means the cable itself hasn't been used but the packaging can show minor storage wear. The reason to choose it is the direct fit: it's a Teleflex Type 400 cable with part number CC17016, made for the kind of control problem you're trying to solve. The limitation is that new old stock comes with possible cosmetic wear on the packaging, and the listed 16-foot length has to suit the cable run on your boat.
Final choice by use case
If the failure is in the tilt/trim system, the Tilt Trim Motor Replacement for API Marine is the part to order. If the failure is in the shift or throttle cable, the Teleflex Type 400 Shift Control Cable is the more targeted fix. Match the part to the symptom and you'll be back on the water sooner.
