Choosing a shift or throttle control cable for an outboard often comes down to one measurement: the distance from the control box to the engine. Pick a cable too short and it won't reach; pick one too long and you're left managing extra coil. Here, two Teleflex Type 400 cables sit at the same listed price, USD 69.99, with the same New old stock condition. The meaningful split is length.
Quick verdict
Both options share the Teleflex Type 400 design, a New old stock condition, and an identical listed price of USD 69.99. The only major difference is the length: the 19Ft CC17019 gives you more reach for a longer cable path, while the 16Ft CC17016 keeps things tidy for a shorter run. If you don't know your required cable length yet, measure the routing path first - that measurement, not price or brand, should decide the pick.

Where the 19Ft cable wins
If your control cable route runs from the helm to the outboard across a longer transom or through a looped rigging path, the 19Ft Teleflex Type 400 gives you the extra three feet to work with. The larger reach reduces the chance of coming up short during installation, especially when you need to pull the cable through tight spaces or around existing hardware. With the same price as the shorter cable, you gain flexibility without spending more.
Where the 16Ft cable wins
For compact boats with a short distance between throttle control and engine, the 16Ft Teleflex Type 400 minimizes leftover cable. A shorter cable is easier to stow and less likely to create sharp bends or excess loops inside the boat's rigging area. If your measured run is comfortably under 19 feet, this cable keeps the setup cleaner while still delivering the same Type 400 construction.
Product notes
Teleflex Type 400 19Ft Shift Control Cable Part# CC17019 Outboard Motor Parts
This is the longer of the two Teleflex Type 400 cables, listed at USD 69.99. It carries part number CC17019 and is described as a Johnson-Evinrude control cable for throttle or shift use. Its New old stock condition means the cable itself is new, though the packaging may show minor storage wear. Choose this one when your measured cable run is closer to 19 feet or when you prefer a little extra slack to route around obstacles. The limitation is the reverse: if your boat only needs a short run, the extra three feet can become awkward to secure inside the rigging.
Teleflex Type 400 16Ft Shift Control Cable Part# CC17016 Outboard Motor Parts
This cable is also USD 69.99 and offers the same Teleflex Type 400 build, but in a 16-foot length. Manufacturer part number CC17016, and like its sibling, it's listed as a Johnson-Evinrude control cable and sold in New old stock condition. It's a sensible choice for shorter transoms or simpler control cable paths where a 19-foot length would leave too much leftover. The limitation is obvious: if your run needs more than 16 feet, this cable won't reach the engine cleanly, so measure carefully before choosing.
Final choice by use case
If your boat's cable path is long or you want extra room to route, pick the Teleflex Type 400 19Ft CC17019. If your control-to-engine distance is short and you want a cleaner install, pick the Teleflex Type 400 16Ft CC17016. Since both cost the same USD 69.99, the decision is entirely about your measured run length.
