Quick verdict
One part restores shift control on an outboard; the other replaces a worn trailer winch handle. The Teleflex CC17020 is the higher-priced control cable and the functional priority when shifting is the problem. The Comfort Grip handle is the low-cost swap when the winch handle is the broken piece. The listed-price separation is $56.00, so the right choice comes down to which part actually needs replacing.

| Teleflex CC17020 20 ft shift control cable | USD 69.99 | Teleflex brand, part number CC17020, new old stock without original box | |

Where each product wins
The Teleflex CC17020 shift control cable wins when the failing component is the cable between your outboard controls and the engine. It is a dedicated shift cable from Teleflex, and it is the control component rather than a comfort accessory. This is the part that makes shifting possible again.
The Comfort Grip boat trailer winch handle wins when the trailer winch itself still works but the handle is cracked, worn, or hard to pull. It is described as suitable for most boat trailer winches, and its galvanized shaft and molded grip make it a simple replacement handle. These two parts are not competing for the same mounting point, so the choice should be driven by the specific repair you are facing.
Product notes
Teleflex Type 400 20Ft Shift Control Cable Part# CC17020
The Teleflex Type 400 20Ft Shift Control Cable Part# CC17020 is a control cable made for outboard shift systems. The exact part number gives you a clear reference, and the 20-foot length offers a long cable run. The listing describes it as new old stock without the original box, so this is a bare cable rather than a sealed retail package. If a worn shift cable is the reason shifting feels off, this cable is the part that directly addresses that connection. The limitation is the condition: new other, not boxed, and the 20-foot length can be more cable than a short run needs.
Comfort Grip Boat Trailer Winch Crank Handlebar Pulling System Replacement Part
The Comfort Grip Boat Trailer Winch Crank Handlebar Pulling System Replacement Part is a manual crank handle with a galvanized steel shaft and an anti-slip rubber grip. It is described as suitable for most boat trailer winches, so it is a sensible pick when the winch still works and only the handle is the problem. The black grip and silver galvanized metal finish match standard winch hardware, and the manual crank drive type fits the way trailer winches operate. The limitation is the scope of the part: the listed role is a replacement handle rather than a complete winch assembly, and the listing carries a California Prop 65 warning, which is useful to know before ordering.
Final choice by use case
- If the shift cable is the failing part, the Teleflex CC17020 is the one to order for outboard shift control.
- If the winch handle is the only broken piece, the Comfort Grip handle is the lower-cost replacement to try.
- If you are buying only one of these, let the failed part decide: the cable addresses shifting, while the handle addresses winch comfort.
