Uflex C5X15 Engine Control Cable, 15 Foot, 3.75 Inch Stroke, Brass, for Mercury and Mercruiser

The Uflex C5X15 is a 15 foot engine control cable built for Mercury and Mercruiser applications, using a brass construction and a 3.75 inch (95 mm) stroke to transmit precise shift and throttle motion from the control head to the engine. As part of Uflex's C5 control cable line, it is designed as a direct connection cable for control systems used across outboard, sterndrive, and inboard installations.

For boats using Mercury Gen I engine connections, the C5 series cable (including the C5X15) can be connected with the addition of a K35 connection kit, sold separately, allowing the cable to mate properly to older Mercury Gen I cable ends. The cable's brass fittings are built for durability in the marine engine compartment environment, where corrosion resistance and consistent mechanical feel over repeated shift and throttle cycles matter.

This cable is intended to be paired with a compatible control head and engine-side connection, and is sized specifically at 15 feet to match runs requiring that length; boats needing a different length require a different C5X cable in the same series.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long is the Uflex C5X15 control cable? The C5X15 is 15 feet long, as indicated by the X15 in its part number.

What is the stroke length of this cable? The Uflex C5X15 has a 3.75 inch (95 millimeter) stroke, which is the travel distance used to transmit shift and throttle movement.

What engines is the C5X15 designed for? This cable is designed for Mercury and Mercruiser engine applications.

What material is the C5X15 cable made from? The C5X15 is made from brass, chosen for its corrosion resistance in marine engine compartments.

Do I need any extra parts to connect this cable to a Mercury Gen I engine? Yes, connecting a C5 series cable such as the C5X15 to a Mercury Gen I engine connection requires the addition of a K35 connection kit, which is sold separately.

How much does the C5X15 weigh? The Uflex C5X15 weighs 2 pounds.

Can the C5X15 be used with any control head? The C5X15 is a C5 series Uflex control cable intended for use with a compatible Uflex control head and the corresponding Mercury or Mercruiser engine-side connection.

What is included with the C5X15? The C5X15 is supplied as the control cable itself; the Mercury Gen I connection kit (K35) required for some installations is a separate item.

Is the C5X15 suitable for outboard, sterndrive, or inboard installations? As a Uflex C5 series cable, the C5X15 is used across outboard, sterndrive, and inboard control installations that call for a 15 foot, 3.75 inch stroke cable.

What happens if I order the wrong length cable in the C5 series? Each C5X cable is built to a specific length, so the C5X15 will only properly reach a run requiring 15 feet; a different run length requires the corresponding C5X cable in that length.
