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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\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 C5X15\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCable Series:\u003c\/strong\u003e C5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCable Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 15 feet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStroke:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.75 inches (95 millimeters)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible Engines:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mercury, Mercruiser\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Kit for Mercury Gen I:\u003c\/strong\u003e K35 (sold separately)\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\u003eHow long is the Uflex C5X15 control cable?\u003c\/strong\u003e The C5X15 is 15 feet long, as indicated by the X15 in its part number.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the stroke length of this cable?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Uflex C5X15 has a 3.75 inch (95 millimeter) stroke, which is the travel distance used to transmit shift and throttle movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat engines is the C5X15 designed for?\u003c\/strong\u003e This cable is designed for Mercury and Mercruiser engine applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat material is the C5X15 cable made from?\u003c\/strong\u003e The C5X15 is made from brass, chosen for its corrosion resistance in marine engine compartments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo I need any extra parts to connect this cable to a Mercury Gen I engine?\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the C5X15 weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Uflex C5X15 weighs 2 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan the C5X15 be used with any control head?\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is included with the C5X15?\u003c\/strong\u003e The C5X15 is supplied as the control cable itself; the Mercury Gen I connection kit (K35) required for some installations is a separate item.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the C5X15 suitable for outboard, sterndrive, or inboard installations?\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat happens if I order the wrong length cable in the C5 series?\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Uflex","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48991089983707,"sku":"UFX-C5X15","price":42.12,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/51viqkTCibL.jpg?v=1784491246","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/uflex-c5x15-c5-engine-control-cable-15-ft-for-mercury-mercruiser-33c-style-3-75-stroke","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
