Uflex MACH5X15 MACH5 Mercury-Style Engine Control Cable, 15 Feet, Outboard/Inboard/Sterndrive

The Uflex MACH5X15 is a 15-foot MACH5 series engine control cable engineered for smooth, precise shift and throttle response on Mercury-style control systems. Built on Uflex's patented high-performance MACH cable design, it uses an innovative core construction that maximizes efficiency and minimizes lost motion, paired with a flexible conduit that allows a tight bend radius for complex, tricky cable routings where a standard cable would bind. This makes the MACH5X15 well suited to installations where the run from helm to engine is not a straight shot.

The MACH5 configuration is the Mercury-style equivalent to a C5-type cable, and Uflex builds the MACH series in configurations suitable for outboard, inboard, and sterndrive engines. Construction uses stainless steel cable and fittings for corrosion resistance in the marine environment, and the cable is maintenance free, so there is no periodic lubrication or adjustment routine required after installation. At 15 feet in length, this cable suits helm-to-engine runs matching that measurement; always confirm your existing cable length before ordering a replacement.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Uflex MACH5X15 cable used for? The MACH5X15 is a 15-foot engine control cable that operates shift and throttle movement between the helm and the engine on Mercury-style control systems.

How long is the MACH5X15 cable? The Uflex MACH5X15 measures 15 feet in length, as indicated by the part number.

What boat brands or engines does the MACH5X15 fit? The MACH5X15 is designed for Mercury, Mercruiser, Mariner, and Volvo control systems that use a Mercury-style, C5-equivalent control cable, and it suits outboard, inboard, and sterndrive engines.

Is the MACH5X15 a direct equivalent to a C5 cable? Yes, the MACH5 configuration used in the MACH5X15 is built to the Mercury-style C5 cable format.

What material is the MACH5X15 cable made from? Uflex builds the MACH5X15 with stainless steel cable and fittings for corrosion resistance in marine use.

Does the MACH5X15 require maintenance after installation? No, the MACH5X15 is a maintenance-free cable and does not require periodic lubrication or adjustment.

What type of connector does the MACH5X15 use? The MACH5X15 uses a screw-type connector.

Why choose the MACH design over a standard control cable? Uflex's patented MACH core design reduces lost motion for more precise shift and throttle response, and its flexible conduit allows a tighter bend radius, which makes the MACH5X15 better suited to complex or tight cable routings than a conventional cable.

How much does the MACH5X15 weigh? The Uflex MACH5X15 weighs 2.2 pounds.

Can the MACH5X15 be used on both outboard and sterndrive boats? Yes, the MACH5X15 is suitable for outboard, inboard, and sterndrive engines.

Is the MACH5X15 genuine Uflex, not an aftermarket copy? Yes, the MACH5X15 is manufactured by Uflex as part of its MACH series of control cables.
