SeaStar Control Cable CC17006, 6 Feet, Pre-1979 OMC/Johnson/Evinrude with BRP/OMC Controls

The SeaStar CC17006 is a 6-foot OEM direct-replacement type control cable engineered for Pre-1979 OMC/Johnson/Evinrude outboard engines equipped with BRP/OMC controls. Built by SeaStar to drop into the existing connection components on the control head, this cable is designed as a straightforward swap for the original equipment cable without modification.

Construction features stainless steel terminals and brass fittings for corrosion resistance, paired with stainless or nylon-covered core wires and moisture protective seals that guard against water intrusion over the cable's life. The core runs through a long-wearing HDPE liner that is ultra-smooth and lubricated for life, reducing steering and throttle effort at the helm. A black HDPE outer jacket resists abrasion and withstands UV exposure, salt water, chemicals, gasoline, and oil, while an 8-inch minimum bend radius keeps the cable protected from kinking during routing and installation.

SeaStar states that this cable exceeds the engine manufacturer's specifications and that its control cables exceed ABYC safety standards and meet ISO/IMCI/NMMA certification requirements. The cable is lubricated at the factory for life and is made in the U.S.A.
