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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Uflex\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e MACH5X14\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCable Series:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mach Series\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mercury style (like C5)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength:\u003c\/strong\u003e 14 feet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.1 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCable\/Fitting Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stainless steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEngine Compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Outboard, inboard, and sterndrive engines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaintenance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Maintenance free\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMercury-style (C5-type) control cable suitable for outboard, inboard, and sterndrive engines using that connection style, including Mercury, Mercruiser, Mariner, and Volvo control systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long is the Uflex MACH5X14 control cable?\u003c\/strong\u003e The MACH5X14 measures 14 feet in length, as indicated by its part number.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat style connection does the MACH5X14 use?\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat types of engines is the MACH5X14 suitable for?\u003c\/strong\u003e This cable is suitable for outboard, inboard, and sterndrive engines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the MACH5X14 cable maintenance free?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the MACH5X14 is designed to be maintenance free once installed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the cable and fittings made of?\u003c\/strong\u003e The MACH5X14's cables and fittings are made of stainless steel for durability in a marine environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the MACH5X14 work with Mercury, Mercruiser, Mariner, or Volvo control systems?\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow does the MACH5X14 reduce lost motion at the helm?\u003c\/strong\u003e Its innovative core design is engineered to maximize efficiency and minimize lost motion, so shift and throttle inputs translate directly into engine movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the MACH5X14 flexible enough for tight cable routing?\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the MACH5X14 cable weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Uflex MACH5X14 weighs 2.1 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the difference between MACH5 and other Mach Series configurations?\u003c\/strong\u003e 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).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the MACH5X14 an original or aftermarket cable?\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Uflex","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48991107907803,"sku":"UFX-MACH5X14","price":63.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/31-UpgEGSaL_2f1c37cd-b5b8-421b-9823-67e506c5062b.jpg?v=1784491726","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/uflex-mach5x14-mach5-mercury-style-engine-control-cable-14-ft-shift-throttle-cable-for-mercury-mercruiser-mariner-volvo-outboard-inboard-sterndrive","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
