It transmits throttle and shift motion from the helm control head to the engine or sterndrive, using an 18 laywire conduit construction for smooth, consistent cable travel over the length of the run. The cable has a 3.75 inch (95 mm) stroke, the standard actuation length used on Mercury and Mercruiser control systems, so it engages the full range of throttle and shift motion the engine is designed for.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs part of Uflex's control cable lineup, the C5X16 is manufactured to work with Mercury and Mercruiser engine and control setups, giving boat owners a straightforward way to replace a worn, stiff, or damaged control cable with a compatible unit built to the same operating specification.
