SeaStar CC17008 Control Cable, 8-Feet, Pre-1979 OMC/Johnson/Evinrude with BRP/OMC Controls

The SeaStar CC17008 is an 8-foot OEM direct-replacement type control cable engineered for pre-1979 OMC/Johnson/Evinrude outboards equipped with BRP/OMC controls. It drops in using the existing connection components at the control head, so no modification to the control box or engine-side fitting is needed. The cable is built with stainless steel terminals and conduit fittings, paired with stainless or nylon covered core wires and moisture protective seals, giving the internal wire added corrosion resistance and a longer service life in a marine environment. A durable black HDPE outer jacket resists abrasion and stands up to UV exposure, salt water, chemicals, gasoline, and oil, with an 8 inch minimum bend radius for routing through tight engine compartments. The cable is lifetime lubricated at the factory, so it runs smooth from installation without additional greasing. It exceeds the engine manufacturer's specifications and is manufactured in the U.S.A. Because control cable connections are proprietary to the control head design, confirm your boat uses BRP/OMC controls and verify the correct cable length for your application before ordering, since a cable that is too long or too short will not route or actuate properly.

Frequently Asked Questions

What boats and engines does the SeaStar CC17008 fit? The CC17008 is designed for pre-1979 OMC, Johnson, and Evinrude outboards that use BRP/OMC style controls, using the existing connection components at the control head.

How long is this control cable? The CC17008 is an 8-foot control cable, so measure your existing cable or the routing distance from control head to engine before ordering to confirm this length is correct for your application.

Will this cable work with Mercury or Mariner controls? No. The CC17008 is built for BRP/OMC style controls on pre-1979 OMC/Johnson/Evinrude engines; Mercury and Mariner control heads use a different proprietary connection and require a different SeaStar cable.

What is the outer jacket made of? A black HDPE (high-density polyethylene) outer jacket covers the CC17008, giving it resistance to abrasion, UV exposure, salt water, chemicals, gasoline, and oil.

Are the terminals corrosion resistant? Yes, the CC17008 uses stainless steel terminals and conduit fittings along with stainless or nylon covered core wires and moisture protective seals for added corrosion protection.

Does the cable come pre-lubricated? The CC17008 is lifetime lubricated at the factory, so it is ready to install and run smoothly without adding grease during setup.

What is the minimum bend radius for installation? An 8 inch minimum bend radius applies to the CC17008, which should be accounted for when routing the cable through the engine compartment and control run.

Is this an OEM part or an aftermarket replacement? The CC17008 is an OEM direct-replacement type cable manufactured by SeaStar, engineered to use the same connection components as the original equipment cable it replaces.

How many wires are in this control cable? The CC17008 has 2 core wires.

How much does this control cable weigh? The CC17008 weighs 1.18 pounds.

Where is the CC17008 manufactured? This control cable is made in the U.S.A.

Does this cable meet marine industry standards? Cables in this SeaStar control cable line are environmentally tested for marine applications and exceed the engine manufacturer's specifications.
