Uflex C36X17 Engine Control Cable for Mercury and Mercruiser, 17 Feet

The Uflex C36X17 is a 17 foot engine control cable built to connect a single lever control head to the throttle and shift linkage on Mercury and Mercruiser engines, including Mercury Generation II series controls. The cable has a 3.3 inch (85 mm) stroke, matching the throw required by compatible Mercury and Mercruiser control systems, and is built with an 18 laywire conduit for smooth, consistent motion transfer between the helm and the engine. As a direct engine control cable rather than a steering cable, the C36X17 is used to actuate throttle and shift functions rather than turn the outboard or sterndrive. Because control cable length and stroke must match the specific control head and engine setup, the C36X17 designation identifies both the cable family (C36) and its length (17 feet), making it straightforward to confirm you are ordering the correct cable for a Mercury or Mercruiser installation that calls for this length and stroke.
