Description
Uflex MACH Control Cable 18' for OMC | Boat Supply Store
This Uflex MACH™ Series cable addresses imprecise throttle and shift control in demanding marine environments by offering superior efficiency and minimal lost motion. Its 75 mm (3") stroke ensures precise actuator engagement, while the stranded wire core with lubricated extrusion and exclusive conduit design facilitate a reduced bend radius. This makes it ideal for complex cable routing often encountered on offshore fishing vessels navigating the Gulf Coast.
Key Features
- Unmatched Efficiency for smooth, responsive throttle and shift.
- Extreme Flexibility reduces bend radius for complex installations.
- Precise Control minimizes lost motion for accurate engine operation.
- Durable Blue Jacket resists abrasion, UV, and chemicals.
- Maintenance-Free Operation for long-term reliability.
- Stainless Steel End Fittings ensure corrosion resistance.
- Lubricated Extrusion enhances smooth internal cable movement.
- Stranded Wire Core contributes to flexibility and durability.
