Uflex MACH5X12 MACH5 Mercury-Style Engine Control Cable, 12 Feet

The Uflex MACH5X12 is a MACH5 series engine control cable built in the Mercury style (comparable to a C5-type cable), designed for smooth, precise shift and throttle movement on outboard, inboard, and sterndrive engines. It is part of Uflex's patented MACH Cable line, engineered from decades of experience producing high-quality, long-lasting, flexible control cables.

The MACH5X12 uses an innovative core design that maximizes efficiency and minimizes lost motion, so shift and throttle inputs at the helm translate directly to the engine with less play and less effort. The conduit is built for a high level of flexibility, which reduces the bend radius needed during installation and makes routing through tight or complex helm-to-engine runs easier than with stiffer cables. Stainless steel cables and fittings provide corrosion resistance in the marine environment, and the cable is maintenance free once installed.

This is a 12-foot length cable in the MACH5 configuration, meaning it is built to the Mercury-style cable format. It is suitable for outboard, inboard, and sterndrive engine control applications where a Mercury-style (C5-type) control cable is called for.

Frequently Asked Questions

What engines does the Uflex MACH5X12 fit? The MACH5X12 is suitable for outboard, inboard, and sterndrive engines that use a Mercury-style (C5-type) control cable.

How long is the MACH5X12 cable? This cable is 12 feet long, as indicated by the MACH5X12 part number.

What style of cable is the MACH5 series? MACH5 is Uflex's Mercury-style cable configuration, comparable to a C5-type cable, within the broader MACH Cable lineup that also includes MACHZero (universal, like C2/C8), MACH14 (OMC/BRP style, like C14), and MACH36 (Gen II Mercury style, like C36).

What is the MACH5X12 cable made of? The Uflex MACH5X12 uses stainless steel cables and fittings for corrosion resistance in marine use.

Does the MACH5X12 require regular maintenance? No, the MACH5X12 is maintenance free once installed.

Why does the MACH5 cable have a smaller bend radius than other control cables? The MACH5X12's conduit is built with an exclusive design for a high level of flexibility, which reduces the bend radius needed and makes routing through complex helm-to-engine paths easier.

Is the MACH5X12 suitable for both throttle and shift applications? Yes, the MACH Series cables including the MACH5X12 are designed for smooth, easy, and precise shift and throttle movement.

What is the difference between the MACH5X12 and a standard replacement control cable? The MACH5X12 uses Uflex's patented high-performance core design, which maximizes efficiency and minimizes lost motion compared to conventional cables, while its stainless steel construction and flexible conduit are built for long-lasting, low-maintenance use.

How much does the Uflex MACH5X12 weigh? The MACH5X12 weighs 1.9 pounds.

Is the MACH5X12 suitable for outboard engines only? No, the MACH5X12 is suitable for outboard, inboard, and sterndrive engines.

What are the package dimensions of the MACH5X12? The MACH5X12 ships in packaging measuring 16.5 x 16.5 x 1 inches.
