Uflex MACH36X13 Mach36 Gen II Mercury Style Control Cable, 13 Feet
Uflex MACH36X13 Mach36 Gen II Mercury Style Control Cable, 13 Feet
The Uflex MACH36X13 is a Mach36 series control cable built in the Gen II Mercury style (like the C36 configuration), engineered to deliver smooth, precise shift and throttle response in demanding marine installations. It is suitable for outboard, inboard, and sterndrive engines, making it a versatile choice for a wide range of control system layouts.
The Mach series uses a patented high performance core design that maximizes efficiency and minimizes lost motion, so control inputs translate directly into shift and throttle movement with minimal play. The conduit is engineered for an exceptionally high level of flexibility, which reduces bend radius and simplifies routing through tight or complex engine bay layouts. Cables and fittings are constructed of stainless steel for corrosion resistance in the marine environment, and the design is maintenance free once installed. This cable measures 13 feet in length.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Uflex MACH36X13 control cable used for? The MACH36X13 is a Mach36 series shift and throttle control cable used to connect helm controls to outboard, inboard, or sterndrive engines, transmitting precise mechanical movement from the control head to the engine.
How long is the MACH36X13 cable? This Uflex control cable measures 13 feet in length, as indicated by the X13 in its part number.
What style of control cable is the MACH36? The MACH36 is built in the Gen II Mercury style, comparable to a C36 configuration, and is designed to be suitable for outboard, inboard, and sterndrive engines.
What is the MACH36X13 cable made of? The cable and fittings on the Uflex MACH36X13 are constructed of stainless steel for durability and corrosion resistance in marine environments.
Does the MACH36X13 require regular maintenance? No, the Uflex MACH36X13 is designed to be maintenance free once it is properly installed.
What makes the Mach series cables different from standard control cables? The Mach series, including the MACH36X13, uses a patented high performance core design that minimizes lost motion, combined with a flexible conduit design that allows for tighter bend radiuses in complex cable routing.
How much does the MACH36X13 weigh? The Uflex MACH36X13 control cable weighs 2 pounds.
Is the MACH36X13 compatible with sterndrive engines? Yes, the MACH36X13 is suitable for outboard, inboard, and sterndrive engine applications.
Can the MACH36X13 be used for both shift and throttle functions? Yes, the Mach36 cable design is intended for shift and throttle control movement in marine engine control systems.
Why does the MACH36 reduce bend radius compared to other cables? The conduit on the MACH36X13 uses an exclusive flexible design that allows it to bend more tightly than conventional control cables, which simplifies routing in tight engine bay spaces.
