When you're shopping for marine replacement parts, a shift control cable is one of those components where length makes or breaks the job. Too short, and the cable won't reach the engine. Too long, and you're left managing a bulky loop. These two Teleflex Type 400 cables-one ending in CC17019 and the other in CC17016-are both built for outboard motor control, so the real question is how much cable your boat actually needs.
Quick Verdict
If your control box-to-engine run is long, the CC17019 is the safer pick because it gives you more reach to work with. If the route is direct and you'd rather avoid extra cable, the CC17016 keeps the rigging compact. Both are listed in new other condition, and the packaging may show minor storage wear.
Comparison at a Glance
| Product | Listed Price | Price Bar | Cable Length | Part Number |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Teleflex Type 400 19Ft Shift Control Cable | USD 69.99 | 19 ft | CC17019 | |
| Teleflex Type 400 16Ft Shift Control Cable | USD 69.99 | 16 ft | CC17016 |
Where Each Cable Wins
The CC17019 wins when the cable run is long or has several bends. The extra three feet let you route the cable around obstacles without pulling it tight, which makes for a cleaner installation on larger boats.
The CC17016 wins when the run is short and direct. With less cable to manage, the rigging stays tidy, and you don't have to coil up a long service loop near the engine.
Product Notes
Teleflex Type 400 19Ft Shift Control Cable Part# CC17019
This is the longer of the two, measuring 19 feet and carrying the part number CC17019. It's a Teleflex Type 400 shift control cable for outboard motor use, and the part is identified as a Johnson/Evinrude control cable for throttle or shift. Choose this one when your cable run is longer and you need extra length to navigate the path to the engine. The limitation is the opposite situation: if your boat actually needs a shorter cable, the extra three feet will need to be routed carefully or managed as a service loop.
Teleflex Type 400 16Ft Shift Control Cable Part# CC17016
The 16-foot CC17016 covers the same Teleflex Type 400 cable design in a shorter length. It's also listed as a Johnson/Evinrude control cable for throttle or shift use. With less cable to route, this version keeps the installation compact. Pick it for a setup where the control box sits close to the outboard and a direct run is all you need. The limitation is simple: if your installation turns out to require more than 16 feet of cable, this part won't bridge the gap, and you'll need the 19-foot CC17019 instead.
Final Choice by Use Case
Choose the 19-foot CC17019 when you're facing a long or winding cable path and need extra reach to make a clean installation. Choose the 16-foot CC17016 for a compact outboard setup where the control unit is near the engine and you prefer less cable to manage. Measure your actual run first, and the right cable should be obvious.
