When you're shopping for marine replacement parts, the first question isn't which one costs less. It's which component you actually need to replace. The Teleflex Type 400 16Ft Shift Control Cable Part# CC17016 is a throttle or shift control cable for Johnson Evinrude outboard control setups. The Pro Boat Retriever System Tug 30 PRB281112 Replacement Boat Parts is a model-specific replacement part for the Pro Boat Retriever System Tug 30. These two parts don't do the same job, so the decision comes down to the repair in front of you.
Quick verdict
If you're trying to decide between these two, match the part to the project. The Teleflex CC17016 is the cable to choose when your repair involves an outboard control cable and you want a specific Teleflex part number. The Pro Boat PRB281112 is the part to choose when you're servicing the Pro Boat Retriever System Tug 30 and need a new replacement part with a clear model number. Price alone shouldn't drive the call because they serve different boats and different systems.

Product notes
Teleflex Type 400 16Ft Shift Control Cable Part# CC17016
This part takes on a very different job. It's described as a Johnson Evinrude control cable part that can be used as a throttle or shift cable, and it carries the CC17016 manufacturer part number. The condition is new old stock, so the cable itself is unused while the packaging may show minor storage wear. The concrete reason to choose it is that your repair calls for a 16-foot control cable and you want the specific Teleflex CC17016 part rather than a generic cable. The limitation is the fixed 16-foot length and the new old stock condition, which means the package may not look perfect even though the component is new old stock.
Pro Boat Retriever System Tug 30 PRB281112 Replacement Boat Parts
The Pro Boat part is a model-specific replacement piece for the Retriever System Tug 30. It is new and includes a UPC and model number, so identifying it as the PRB281112 replacement part is simple. If you own a Retriever System Tug 30, this is the part to order. What it won't do is replace a general-purpose outboard shift cable; it's tied to the Tug 30, so it doesn't cover a Johnson Evinrude control cable repair. For a tug-specific job, the new condition and model number make it the straightforward pick.
Final choice by use case
Choose the Teleflex Type 400 16Ft Shift Control Cable Part# CC17016 if you need to replace a throttle or shift cable for a Johnson Evinrude outboard control setup and the CC17016 part number matches the job. Choose the Pro Boat Retriever System Tug 30 PRB281112 Replacement Boat Parts if you're repairing a Pro Boat Retriever System Tug 30 and need that specific replacement part.
