Uflex MACH5X14 MACH5 Mercury-Style Engine Control Cable, 14 Feet

The Uflex MACH5X14 is a Mercury-style (C5-type) engine control cable built for outboard, inboard, and sterndrive engines. It is part of Uflex's Mach Series of patented high-performance control cables, engineered from decades of cable-manufacturing experience to deliver smooth, precise shift and throttle response even in the most demanding installations.

The MACH5X14's innovative core design maximizes efficiency and minimizes lost motion, so control inputs at the helm translate directly into shift and throttle movement at the engine with minimal play. The conduit uses an exclusive design that provides an extremely high level of flexibility, reducing bend radius and making it easier to route through tight or complex engine spaces. The cable and its fittings are built in stainless steel for corrosion resistance in a marine environment, and the design is maintenance free once installed.

This cable measures 14 feet in length and uses the Mercury-style (C5-type) end configuration, making it a fit for control systems that call for that style connection, including systems used across Mercury, Mercruiser, Mariner, and Volvo control setups. It is suitable for outboard, inboard, and sterndrive engine applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long is the Uflex MACH5X14 control cable? The MACH5X14 measures 14 feet in length, as indicated by its part number.

What style connection does the MACH5X14 use? It uses a Mercury-style connection, the same style as a C5 cable, which is why it is referred to as a MACH5 configuration cable.

What types of engines is the MACH5X14 suitable for? This cable is suitable for outboard, inboard, and sterndrive engines.

Is the MACH5X14 cable maintenance free? Yes, the MACH5X14 is designed to be maintenance free once installed.

What are the cable and fittings made of? The MACH5X14's cables and fittings are made of stainless steel for durability in a marine environment.

Does the MACH5X14 work with Mercury, Mercruiser, Mariner, or Volvo control systems? Yes, because it uses the Mercury-style (C5-type) connection, the MACH5X14 fits control systems across Mercury, Mercruiser, Mariner, and Volvo setups that call for that style.

How does the MACH5X14 reduce lost motion at the helm? Its innovative core design is engineered to maximize efficiency and minimize lost motion, so shift and throttle inputs translate directly into engine movement.

Is the MACH5X14 flexible enough for tight cable routing? Yes, the exclusive conduit design gives the MACH5X14 a high level of flexibility, allowing for a reduced bend radius on long or complex cable routings.

How much does the MACH5X14 cable weigh? The Uflex MACH5X14 weighs 2.1 pounds.

What is the difference between MACH5 and other Mach Series configurations? MACH5, used in the MACH5X14, is the Mercury-style (C5-type) configuration, while other Mach Series cables include MACHZero (universal, like C2/C8), MACH14 (OMC/BRP style, like C14), and MACH36 (Gen II Mercury style, like C36).

Is the MACH5X14 an original or aftermarket cable? The MACH5X14 is a Uflex Mach Series cable built to the Mercury-style (C5-type) configuration for use as a control cable in compatible systems.
