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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUflex 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.\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 C5X13\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCable Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 13 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\u003eConduit Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18 laywire conduit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.8 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Brass, Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 702755012153\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible Engines:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mercury, Mercruiser\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSuitable for Mercury and Mercruiser engine control applications as a drop-in replacement cable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat length is the Uflex C5X13 control cable?\u003c\/strong\u003e The C5X13 measures 13 feet in overall length, with a 3.75 inch (95 mm) stroke.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the stroke measurement on this cable?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Uflex C5X13 has a 3.75 inch (95 mm) stroke, which is the linear travel distance the cable provides at the engine end.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill this cable fit my Mercury or Mercruiser engine?\u003c\/strong\u003e The C5X13 is designed as a drop-in replacement control cable for Mercury and Mercruiser applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the C5X13 a shift cable or a throttle cable?\u003c\/strong\u003e The C5X13 is a C5-style engine control cable used for shift or throttle actuation between the helm control and the engine on Mercury and Mercruiser setups.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat material is the cable construction?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Uflex C5X13 uses brass and stainless steel components in its fittings and conduit assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the C5X13 weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Uflex C5X13 control cable weighs 1.8 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat color is the C5X13 cable?\u003c\/strong\u003e This Uflex control cable has a black finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does 18 laywire conduit mean?\u003c\/strong\u003e It refers to the wound-wire core construction inside the C5X13's conduit, a design used in marine control cables to deliver smooth, consistent motion transfer while resisting kinking over the cable's length.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I install the C5X13 myself?\u003c\/strong\u003e The C5X13 is built as a drop-in replacement for existing Mercury and Mercruiser control cables, so it is intended to install in place of the original cable using the existing control head and engine attachment points.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs Uflex an OEM or aftermarket brand?\u003c\/strong\u003e Uflex is a manufacturer of steering and control systems whose products are used as original equipment on many boat brands, and the C5X13 is sold as a genuine Uflex part, not a generic aftermarket copy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the UPC for the Uflex C5X13?\u003c\/strong\u003e The UPC for the Uflex C5X13 control cable is 702755012153.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Uflex","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48991090114779,"sku":"UFX-C5X13","price":42.62,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/318VVTFbRVL.jpg?v=1784491253","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/uflex-c5x13-c5-engine-control-cable-13-ft-mercury-mercruiser-33c-universal-3-75-stroke","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
