Two marine replacement parts solve very different problems. The Teleflex Type 400 20Ft Shift Control Cable Part# CC17020 is for restoring control response when the cable between the control box and the engine is worn. The Water Pump Kit for Johnson Evinrude OMC 20 25 30 35 HP Outboard Boat Motor Parts is for replacing the impeller and sealing parts that keep cooling water flowing. The right choice depends on which system you are repairing, not on one part being better overall.
Quick Verdict
- If your outboard shifts or throttles hard, sticks, or you have a 20-foot run from the control to the engine, choose the Teleflex Type 400 cable.
- If your Johnson Evinrude OMC 20-35 HP cross-flow engine runs hot or has a weak water tell-tale, choose the Water Pump Kit.

Where Each Part Wins
Teleflex Type 400 20Ft Shift Control Cable wins when you need to restore control response. The 20-foot length suits longer control runs between the helm and the engine. It is labeled as usable for throttle or shift functions, giving you flexibility in how you route it. The specific manufacturer part number CC17020 makes it easier to match against your existing control setup.
Water Pump Kit for Johnson Evinrude OMC 20 25 30 35 HP wins when you need to rebuild water flow. This kit bundles a neoprene impeller, impeller key, gaskets, wear plate, pump cup, pump housing, grommets, o-rings, seals, and installation bolts. It is listed as a replacement for OEM part 393630 and is intended for Johnson/Evinrude/OMC cross-flow outboards with thru-prop exhaust and one-piece gear case.
Product Notes
Teleflex Type 400 20Ft Shift Control Cable Part# CC17020 Outboard Motor Parts
The 20-foot length is the main reason to choose this cable. It is identified as a Type 400 cable and can serve as either a throttle or shift cable, which is useful if you are replacing one line in a twin-cable setup. It is listed as new old stock, meaning it may not come in a retail box, but it is described as coming exactly as pictured. A concrete limitation is that it is a control cable only. It will not do anything for a failing water pump impeller, and if you are shopping for a single part that rebuilds cooling water flow, this is not that part.
Water Pump Kit for Johnson Evinrude OMC 20 25 30 35 HP Outboard Boat Motor Parts
A water pump repair kit is usually bought because the outboard is running hot, has no tell-tale stream, or is due for a cooling system service. This kit covers many Johnson/Evinrude/OMC models in the 20, 25, 30, and 35 HP range, with references to cross-flow engines, thru-prop exhaust, and one-piece gear case. It includes the impeller plus all the soft sealing parts and hardware needed for a typical pump rebuild. The main limitation is equally clear: it is not a shift or throttle cable, so if your actual issue is a hard or unresponsive control cable, this kit will not solve that problem.
Final Choice by Use Case
Choose the Teleflex Type 400 20Ft Shift Control Cable when you need a 20-foot cable for throttle or shift control. It carries the higher listed price but is the part that addresses control response.
Choose the Water Pump Kit for Johnson Evinrude OMC 20 25 30 35 HP when you are servicing a raw-water pump on a compatible cross-flow outboard. Its lower listed price is for a full pump repair kit, not a cable, so match the part to the system that actually needs attention.
If you still need both repairs, you will need two separate parts: one cable and one water pump kit. Neither part can substitute for the other.
