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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Uflex\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e C36X17\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCable Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 17 feet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStroke:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.3 inches (85 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConduit:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18 laywire conduit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mercury and Mercruiser engines; Mercury Generation II series controls\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 16.5 x 16.5 x 1 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 702755035367\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for Mercury and Mercruiser engines and Mercury Generation II series controls.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the length of the Uflex C36X17 control cable?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Uflex C36X17 is 17 feet long, which is indicated by the X17 in its part number.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat engines does the C36X17 fit?\u003c\/strong\u003e This cable is designed for Mercury and Mercruiser engines and Mercury Generation II series controls.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the stroke measurement on this control cable?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Uflex C36X17 has a 3.3 inch (85 mm) stroke, matching the throw needed by compatible Mercury and Mercruiser control heads.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the C36X17 control throttle, shift, or steering?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is an engine control cable used to actuate throttle and shift functions, not a steering cable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the C36X17 weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Uflex C36X17 weighs 2 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this cable compatible with Mercury Generation II controls?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the C36X17 is built for use with Mercury Generation II series controls in addition to Mercury and Mercruiser engines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat type of conduit does the C36X17 use?\u003c\/strong\u003e The cable is built with an 18 laywire conduit for smooth motion transfer between the control head and the engine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does the C36X17 part number mean?\u003c\/strong\u003e The C36 identifies the cable family and the 17 indicates the 17 foot length, so C36X17 is the 17 foot version of the C36 control cable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the packaged dimensions of the C36X17?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Uflex C36X17 ships in packaging measuring 16.5 x 16.5 x 1 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan this cable be used with any Ultraflex engine control head?\u003c\/strong\u003e The C36X17 is a C36-type cable, and control heads that use connection kits for other Ultraflex cable types generally do not require one for C36 cables; confirm compatibility with your specific control head.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the Uflex C36X17 a genuine Uflex product?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the C36X17 is a genuine Uflex engine control cable, identified by its manufacturer part number C36X17.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the UPC for the Uflex C36X17?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Uflex C36X17 engine control cable has UPC 702755035367.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Uflex","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48991089393883,"sku":"UFX-C36X17","price":48.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/11h8inYg7OL.jpg?v=1784491214","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/uflex-c36x17-marine-engine-control-cable-17-ft-mercury-mercruiser-mariner-volvo-gen-ii-controls-3-3-in-stroke","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
