677-15770-00 – Cable Comp – Yamaha Starter Cable

The 677-15770-00 starter cable is a genuine Yamaha cable comp used in manual start assemblies on certain Yamaha outboard engines. This cable connects your starter lever or knob to the internal starter mechanism. Then it lets you engage and disengage the starter smoothly when you pull or twist the control.

This cable usually appears as part of the starter stop or start-in-gear protection system. It helps prevent the engine from starting unless certain conditions are met. Many owners replace this cable if it stretches, frays, or fails to operate the starter reliably. Also, because it retains original Yamaha OEM specifications, you can trust the fit and movement to match factory design.

Before installation, inspect both ends of the cable for wear and ensure the ferrule and threaded adjuster move freely. Then adjust the cable tension according to your engine’s service manual to maintain accurate starter operation. It’s always best to use the right cable when re-assembling your rigging system. Using the correct OEM part reduces the chance of slip, sticking, or mis-engagement during starts.

Moreover, this cable works across many Yamaha outboard control and rigging applications where the 15770 series is specified. Because Yamaha designs these cables to resist moisture and wear, they perform well in normal boating conditions. Nonetheless, you should regularly check starter cables on older engines, especially if the cable housing shows kinks or the inner wire binds.
