SeaStar CC17009 Control Cable, 400 Series, 9 Feet - Pre-1979 OMC/Johnson/Evinrude with BRP/OMC Controls

The SeaStar CC17009 is a 400 Series control cable assembly built as a direct-replacement type cable for engines using a BRP/OMC control head connection, specifically pre-1979 OMC, Johnson, and Evinrude outboards with BRP/OMC controls. It is engineered as a drop-in replacement that uses the existing connection components at both the control head and the engine, so no modification to the control station is required. The cable measures 9 feet in length.

Construction centers on stainless steel terminals and brass fittings for corrosion resistance, paired with stainless or nylon-covered core wires that carry moisture-protective seals to guard against water intrusion over the life of the cable. The 2-wire, single-strand core runs inside a long-wearing HDPE liner that is lubricated for life, reducing friction and the need for future maintenance. The outer jacket is black HDPE, chosen to resist abrasion and stand up to UV exposure, salt water, chemicals, gasoline, and oil, and the cable has an 8 inch minimum bend radius for routing through tight engine compartments. Each cable is environmentally tested for marine use and is stated to exceed the engine manufacturer's specifications, meeting ABYC safety standards and ISO/IMCI/NMMA certification requirements. The CC17009 is made in the U.S.A. And backed by a two-year recreational user warranty against manufacturing defects.

Frequently Asked Questions

What engines does the SeaStar CC17009 control cable fit? The CC17009 is designed for pre-1979 OMC, Johnson, and Evinrude outboard engines that use BRP/OMC controls. It is a drop-in replacement that connects using the existing control head hardware, so no other fitment changes are needed.

How long is the CC17009 control cable? This 400 Series cable is 9 feet long. Before ordering, measure your existing cable to confirm 9 feet is the correct length for your control station and engine layout, since control cables are not adjustable after installation.

What is the minimum bend radius for this cable? The SeaStar CC17009 has an 8 inch minimum bend radius, which should be factored into how tightly the cable is routed through the engine compartment and helm to avoid kinking or premature wear.

Does the CC17009 use the same connection as my original cable? Yes, the CC17009 is built as a direct-replacement type cable that uses the existing connection components at the BRP/OMC control head and engine, so it is intended to install in place of the original cable without modification.

What is the CC17009 made of? The cable core uses stainless steel terminals and brass fittings with stainless or nylon-covered core wires under moisture-protective seals, all housed in a black HDPE outer jacket and liner for abrasion and UV resistance.

Is the CC17009 pre-lubricated, or do I need to grease it before installation? The CC17009's liner is lubricated for life at the factory, so it does not require additional grease before or during installation.

How many wires are in the CC17009 cable? This control cable has 2 wires in a single-strand core configuration.

Will the CC17009 hold up in saltwater use? The CC17009 is environmentally tested for marine applications, and its HDPE jacket and stainless/nylon-covered core wires with moisture-protective seals are built to resist salt water, chemicals, gasoline, and oil.

Where is the SeaStar CC17009 manufactured? The CC17009 control cable is made in the U.S.A.

What warranty comes with the CC17009? SeaStar backs the CC17009 with a two-year recreational user warranty against manufacturing defects.

Does the CC17009 meet marine safety standards? The CC17009 is stated to exceed the engine manufacturer's specifications and meets ABYC safety standards along with ISO/IMCI/NMMA certification requirements.

What is included when I order the CC17009? Ordering the CC17009 gets you the complete 400 Series, 9 foot control cable assembly, ready to connect to your existing BRP/OMC control head and engine hardware.
