Confirmed Compatibility
| Confirmed cable family | Multiflex EC-005; Mercury/Mariner/MerCruiser Generation I mechanical control cable; 600A / CC179 / C5-type. |
| Confirmed applications | Mercury and Mariner outboards using the older Gen I C5/CC179 cable-end pattern, principally applications over 50 HP in the Multiflex cross-reference; also MerCruiser Gen I controls. |
| Function and travel | Throttle or shift; 97 mm travel; 7.0 mm conduit; 1.9 mm stainless solid-wire inner. |
| Confirmed length | 7 ft. Replace like-for-like using the length stamped on the removed cable or measure the complete routed path. |
| Buyer check | Match the engine-end and control-box-end fittings to EC-005 / C5 / CC179 before ordering; model year or horsepower alone is insufficient if the control box has been replaced. |
| Not compatible | Mercury/MerCruiser Generation II C36/CC189 systems, Mariner up to 40 HP EC-016/C16 systems, or universal 3300/33C ends. |

Frequently Asked Questions
How many cables are supplied?
Two identical cables are supplied, normally used as one throttle cable and one shift cable.
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.
