Detailed description
Mechanical control cable for transmitting throttle or gear shift movement between the control lever and the engine in compatible installations.
Applications listed in the catalogue: Yamaha, Suzuki, Tohatsu, Honda, Selva, Force; Volvo, Yanmar, Volkswagen. Check the series, end fittings, travel and length of the installed cable. The engine brand alone does not confirm compatibility: the control and its connections must also match.
- Series: Ultraflex C0
- IMNASA reference: C0-13'
- Length: 13 feet (3,96 m)
Measure the entire route between the control and the engine, including any necessary bends. Install the cable without tight bends or chafing and check the full throttle or gear shift movement before using the boat.
Sold individually. The throttle and gear shift may require separate cables. Representative photograph of the series, shared across its different lengths.
How to choose and measure the cable
The ordering length is given in feet and its equivalent in metres. 1 foot = 0,3048 m: 9 feet = 2,7432 m (approx. 2,74 m). The metres shown are rounded to two decimal places; the nominal size identifying the reference is in feet.
When replacing a Riviera or Ultraflex cable, the manufacturer specifies measuring the complete cable from tip to tip, including its ends, and checking the length marked on the outer casing. Do not measure only the outer casing section. If the previous installation was correct, do not add the allowance for engine turning again to the old cable's measurement.
For a new installation, measure along the entire actual route from the control to the throttle or gear shift connection, including bends. For outboards, the catalogue diagram adds 3 feet (approx. 0,91 m) to allow for engine movement. For inboards and sterndrives, the A+B route is used. Choose the next available standard length that covers the required route and avoid excess cable and tight bends.
Outer casing length, diameter and travel
The outer casing length, its diameter and the working travel are different measurements. For example, a casing diameter of 8,6 mm indicates its external thickness; a travel of 80 mm indicates the usable movement of the end fitting. Neither value is the cable length. The separate casing length is not published for these references and is not calculated by subtracting the travel.
Before choosing, compare both end fittings, thread or attachment type, cable series, control, engine, year and required travel. Adaptors may be required. Matching the engine brand and length alone does not guarantee a fit.
