At 13 feet, it covers most console and walkaround runs. It drops into your existing connection points, so there's no control-box surgery. Just route it, connect both ends, and get crisp shifting back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen a shift or throttle cable on an older outboard starts feeling notchy, sticky, or just plain stubborn, it's usually the cable and not the control box. The Uflex Mach 479 type control cable is the fix. It's a direct replacement for the CC205 style cables that came factory on OMC, Johnson, Evinrude, and BRP single-lever controls from 1979 right up to today, and this one gives you a full 13 feet of run to work with.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere's the thing about control cables. They live a hard life. Salt, heat, engine vibration, and a hundred tilt cycles a season all conspire to gum up the inner core. You feel it first as drag at the helm, then binding, then that heart-stopping moment when the throttle doesn't come back to idle like it should. When that starts, don't fight it. Swap the cable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Mach series is built for exactly this kind of job. It's a push-pull control cable with the 479 type ends, so it drops into the same OMC and Johnson\/Evinrude connection points your old cable used. No new hardware to buy, no control-box surgery. You pull the old one, route the new one along the same path, and reconnect at both ends.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThirteen feet suits a lot of boats. It's a common length for a mid-size center console, a walkaround with the helm a little forward, or a bass boat where the run from the console to a transom-mounted outboard isn't short. Before you order, measure your existing cable end to end along its actual routing path, not in a straight line. If you're between sizes, size up. A cable that's a hair long tucks away fine, but one that's too short will bind you into a tight bend and kill the feel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpeaking of feel, a few install habits make all the difference. Keep the inner core straight while you're routing it, and do a push-pull test before you lock the ends down so you know a twist didn't sneak in. Secure the cable every foot or so along the run, especially near the transom boot where a loose cable loves to kink. And hit both cable ends with a little marine grease at install. Folks who skip that step often report sticky operation after a couple of seasons, while a greased cable stays smooth far longer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis cable handles both shift and throttle duty on these single-lever systems, so whether you're replacing the gear-shift side or the throttle side, the 479 type CC205 pattern is what you want. It's the standard fitment for the OMC, Johnson, Evinrude, and BRP family, which means matching it up is straightforward once you've confirmed your controls are the 1979-to-present single-lever type.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWho's this for? Anybody keeping an older Johnson or Evinrude rig running right, and that's a lot of us. These motors are workhorses and there are tons of them still out there. A fresh cable is one of the cheapest, most satisfying upgrades you can make. Shifting goes back to crisp, and you stop babying a control that's about to let you down on the water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat it's not: it isn't a universal cable for every brand of outboard. It's cut and ended specifically for the 479 type CC205 application. If your controls aren't the OMC, Johnson, Evinrude, or BRP single-lever type, this isn't your cable. And it's a mechanical control cable, not an electronic throttle harness, so it's meant for traditional cable-operated setups. Confirm your control style, measure your run, and you'll have the right part.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe keep the popular lengths on the shelf, and if you order before 3 PM ET on an in-stock day it ships the same day.
