Uflex C5X14 Engine Control Cable for Mercury and Mercruiser, 14 Feet

The Uflex C5X14 is a 14 foot engine control cable built for Mercury and Mercruiser applications, designed as a drop-in replacement for the control cable connecting the helm control head to the engine's throttle and shift linkage. It uses a 3.75 inch (95 mm) stroke to actuate smooth, accurate throttle and gear-shift movement, and is built with 18 laywire conduit construction for consistent performance and resistance to binding over the length of the run.

As part of the C5 cable series, this cable is compatible with Uflex B310 series control heads, which can be mounted horizontally or vertically on either the port or starboard side of the boat and used on outboard, sterndrive, and inboard applications. When connecting a C5 cable to a B310 control head, the Uflex K35 connection kit is required to complete the installation. Uflex is a longstanding manufacturer of steering and control systems for the marine industry, with products used as original equipment across many major boat brands.
