Uflex C5X10 Engine Control Cable for Mercury and Mercruiser, 10 Feet

The Uflex C5X10 is a 10 foot engine control cable built for Mercury and Mercruiser applications. It is designed as a drop-in replacement, allowing installers to match existing routing and connection points without modifying the control head or engine end fittings. The cable delivers a 3.75 inch (95 mm) stroke, which matches the shift and throttle actuation travel required by compatible Mercury and Mercruiser control systems.

Construction uses brass and stainless steel components at the wear points and end fittings, giving the cable core the corrosion resistance needed in a marine environment where it is exposed to moisture and salt air. Uflex is an established manufacturer of steering and control systems for the marine industry, and its control cables are used as original equipment on many boat brands.

The C5X10 is intended for use with compatible engine control heads on outboard, sterndrive, and inboard installations where a Mercury or Mercruiser style control cable is specified. Because stroke length and cable length must match the control head and engine connection exactly, confirm both the 10 foot length and the 3.75 inch stroke against your current cable before ordering.
