Yamaha Part #703-48345-01-00 is a genuine OEM Cable End, Remote Control (also referred to as Remote Cable End or Control Cable End), specifically the type used on the control side (helm/control box side) of shift and throttle cables in Yamaha outboard systems.
This precision-machined metal fitting attaches to the end of the remote control cable (throttle or shift cable) at the helm/control box. It features a threaded or adjustable connection that links the cable to the control lever mechanism, allowing smooth, precise transmission of throttle and shift inputs from the remote control box to the outboard engine. The design typically includes a ball joint, pivot pin, or clevis-style end that secures with an E-clip (such as the related Yamaha part #93430-06024-00) for reliable retention and easy service.
In Yamaha outboard applications, this cable end is commonly used for:
It's a critical wear/replacement part during cable adjustments, remote control box rebuilds, cable replacements, or troubleshooting issues like stiff shifting, throttle lag, or imprecise control. The part is often sold individually or in sets (e.g., one for throttle, one for shift), and it's distinct from engine-side cable ends (which may use different part numbers).
