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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\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 MACH5X15\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCable Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 15 feet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConfiguration:\u003c\/strong\u003e MACH5 - Mercury style (like C5)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stainless steel cable and fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnector Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Screw\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.2 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaintenance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Maintenance free\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEngine Suitability:\u003c\/strong\u003e Outboard, inboard, and sterndrive engines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eMercury \/ Mercruiser \/ Mariner \/ Volvo control systems using a C5-style Mercury shift\/throttle cable\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the Uflex MACH5X15 cable used for?\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long is the MACH5X15 cable?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Uflex MACH5X15 measures 15 feet in length, as indicated by the part number.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat boat brands or engines does the MACH5X15 fit?\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the MACH5X15 a direct equivalent to a C5 cable?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the MACH5 configuration used in the MACH5X15 is built to the Mercury-style C5 cable format.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat material is the MACH5X15 cable made from?\u003c\/strong\u003e Uflex builds the MACH5X15 with stainless steel cable and fittings for corrosion resistance in marine use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the MACH5X15 require maintenance after installation?\u003c\/strong\u003e No, the MACH5X15 is a maintenance-free cable and does not require periodic lubrication or adjustment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat type of connector does the MACH5X15 use?\u003c\/strong\u003e The MACH5X15 uses a screw-type connector.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy choose the MACH design over a standard control cable?\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the MACH5X15 weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Uflex MACH5X15 weighs 2.2 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan the MACH5X15 be used on both outboard and sterndrive boats?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the MACH5X15 is suitable for outboard, inboard, and sterndrive engines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the MACH5X15 genuine Uflex, not an aftermarket copy?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the MACH5X15 is manufactured by Uflex as part of its MACH series of control cables.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Uflex","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48991107875035,"sku":"UFX-MACH5X15","price":64.67,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/31xCw1VrCgL.jpg?v=1784491723","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/uflex-mach5x15-mach5-mercury-style-engine-control-cable-15-ft-shift-throttle-cable-for-outboard-inboard-sterndrive","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
