Compatibility / Fitment Guide
Multiflex cross-references EC-005 to the Mercury/Mariner/MerCruiser 600A, CC179 and C5 family, noting the Mercury/Mariner “over 50” application group. Use this as a family guide, then verify the actual hardware.
| Control end | Must match the older 600A/C5/CC179-style Gen I control-box end. |
| Engine/drive end | Must accept the EC-005 termination and 97 mm travel; compare with the removed cable or parts diagram. |
| Length | Replace a cable stamped 22 ft or use the manufacturer’s route-measurement method to select 22 ft. Allow full outboard steering/tilt movement. |
| Routing | Maintain at least 203 mm bend radius and keep clear of heat, sharp edges and crushing clamps. |
| Not compatible | Gen II EC-036/C36/CC189, Mariner EC-016/C16/CC630, OMC C14/CC205, 33C/3300 or electronic controls. |

Frequently Asked Questions
How many cables are supplied?
One cable is supplied for either throttle or shift; many installations require two, so check whether both functions are being replaced.
Does it fit every Mercury/Mariner?
No. Match the EC-005/C5/CC179 600A ends and length.
Does it fit Gen II?
No; Gen II normally uses EC-036/C36/CC189.
Is it an EDGE/MACH5 cable?
No, this is the standard EC-005 range.
How do I choose length?
Use the old stamped code where possible, or measure the complete routed path with gentle bends and service loop.
After fitting, verify full throttle/idle and forward-neutral-reverse travel, neutral-start protection and absence of binding before operation.
