Uflex C5X13 C5 Engine Control Cable for Mercury and Mercruiser, 13 Feet

The Uflex C5X13 is a C5-style engine control cable built for Mercury and Mercruiser applications, measuring 13 feet in length with a 3.75 inch (95 mm) stroke. It is designed as a drop-in replacement, letting you swap out a worn or stretched control cable without modifying your existing helm or engine hardware. The cable uses an 18 laywire conduit construction, the wound-wire core design used in marine control cables to transmit smooth, consistent shift and throttle motion from the helm control to the engine while resisting kinking and flex-related binding over long runs.

Uflex is a longtime manufacturer of steering and control systems for the marine industry, and its cables are found as original equipment on many recognized boat brands. The C5X13 is intended for use in Mercury and Mercruiser control cable applications where a 13 foot cable length is required, and it is compatible with control head systems designed to accept 33C Universal-style control cables.
