Uflex C8X18 Universal 3300 Series Engine Control Cable, 18 Feet, Fits Yamaha, Suzuki, Honda

The Uflex C8X18 is a universal 3300 series (C8) engine control cable built for boaters who need a reliable throttle and shift connection between the control box and the engine. Measuring 18 feet in length with a 3.4 inch (87 mm) stroke, this cable is designed for use with inboard, sterndrive, and outboard engines when paired with the appropriate mounting accessories. It is a direct replacement for Yamaha, Suzuki, Honda and other engines, and can also be used on Mercury Gen I installations with the optional K56 connection kit, or on post 1979 Johnson/Evinrude engines with the optional K57 connection kit.

Construction features a full complement of lay wires inside the cable core, which improves efficiency and durability over the life of the cable, resisting binding and wear from repeated throttle and shift cycles. The cable engages using a 10-32 UNF thread and is built with a stainless steel outer casing for corrosion resistance in the marine environment. As a universal 3300-style cable, it is intended to work with compatible control boxes and engine-side brackets already sized for this cable series.
