Uflex MACH™ Series High Efficiency & Flexibility Engine Control Cable - Mercury Style - 16'

The Uflex MACH™ Series High Efficiency & Flexibility Engine Control Cable in Mercury Style with 16-foot length (model MC5X16) is purpose-built for Mercury and Mercruiser engine installations where responsive throttle control and installation ease are non-negotiable. This cable delivers the precision feedback and smooth operation that serious boaters—from weekend fishermen to offshore tournament competitors—demand when managing engine performance in variable water conditions.

The MACH5 design features a 95mm (3.75-inch) stroke optimized specifically for Mercury and Mercruiser engines, with a distinctive blue color jacket engineered for high-performance marine applications. This cable geometry minimizes binding and friction points during installation, reducing labor time while maintaining the tight tolerances required for accurate engine response. The 16-foot length accommodates mid-size to larger recreational and commercial vessels where helm-to-engine distances demand extended cable runs without compromising control resolution.

This cable is the choice for boat owners performing engine control retrofits, rebuilds, or new installations on Mercury-powered vessels. Whether replacing worn throttle and shift cables on a center console or configuring controls on a newly repowered cruiser, the MACH5's efficiency translates to consistent, linear throttle response—critical for fuel economy, engine longevity, and safety in variable sea states. The cable's flexibility design simplifies routing through tight engine compartments and along cabin bulkheads where rigid alternatives would require expensive rework.

Uflex has established itself in the marine control systems market by engineering cables that withstand salt-air corrosion and thermal cycling without sacrificing precision. The MACH Series represents the brand's focus on reducing installation complexity while maintaining the response integrity that separates competent boat control systems from marginal ones. Weighing 3.4 pounds, this cable integrates easily into existing systems or new-build configurations.
