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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConstruction 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\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 C5X10\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCable Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10 feet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStroke:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.75 inches (95 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.5 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Brass, Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitment:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mercury and Mercruiser engines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 702755012122\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMercury engines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMercruiser engines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat length is the Uflex C5X10 control cable?\u003c\/strong\u003e The C5X10 is a 10 foot engine control cable, as indicated by the X10 in its part number.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the stroke length of this cable?\u003c\/strong\u003e The C5X10 has a 3.75 inch (95 mm) stroke, which needs to match the travel required by the connected control head.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the C5X10 compatible with my Mercury or Mercruiser engine?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the Uflex C5X10 is built for Mercury and Mercruiser applications and is designed to serve as a drop-in replacement for the control cable on these engines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the C5X10 made of?\u003c\/strong\u003e This control cable uses brass and stainless steel in its construction, materials chosen for corrosion resistance in marine use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the C5X10 weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Uflex C5X10 weighs 1.5 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan this cable be used on outboard, sterndrive, or inboard boats?\u003c\/strong\u003e Mercury and Mercruiser control cables like the C5X10 are used across outboard, sterndrive, and inboard control installations, provided the connected control head matches its stroke and length.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the C5X10 include connection hardware for the control head?\u003c\/strong\u003e The C5X10 is supplied as the engine control cable itself; connection to specific control head styles depends on the control head's own hardware and connection kit requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs Uflex a genuine OEM manufacturer or an aftermarket brand?\u003c\/strong\u003e Uflex is a manufacturer of steering and control systems used as original equipment on many boat brands, and the C5X10 is a genuine Uflex part, not a third party clone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the part number I need to reference when ordering this cable?\u003c\/strong\u003e The part number is C5X10, which identifies this specific control cable by its cable series (C5) and length (10 feet).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill this cable fit if my current cable has a different stroke?\u003c\/strong\u003e No, the C5X10's 3.75 inch (95 mm) stroke must match your existing control cable's stroke for correct shift and throttle actuation; a mismatched stroke will not function correctly.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Uflex","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48991089328347,"sku":"UFX-C5X10","price":40.36,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/31AByBRTzKL.jpg?v=1784491215","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/uflex-c5x10-c5-engine-control-cable-10-ft-for-mercury-mercruiser-3-75-stroke-33c-compatible","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
