SeaStar CC17011 400 Series Control Cable, 11 Feet, for Pre-1979 OMC/Johnson/Evinrude with BRP/OMC Controls

The SeaStar CC17011 is an 11-foot, 400 Series control cable engineered as a direct drop-in replacement for the original equipment cable on pre-1979 OMC, Johnson, and Evinrude outboards equipped with BRP/OMC control heads. It uses the existing connection components at the control head and engine end, so no modification is needed to install it in place of the worn factory cable. The cable is built with stainless steel terminals and brass fittings for corrosion resistance, along with stainless or nylon covered core wires protected by moisture seals, extending service life in salt water and humid marine environments. A black HDPE outer jacket resists abrasion and withstands prolonged exposure to UV, salt water, chemicals, gasoline, and oil, while the smooth HDPE liner is lubricated for life at the factory to keep shifting and throttle response consistent. The cable has an 8-inch minimum bend radius, which should be respected during routing and installation to avoid kinking the core wire or liner. Every SeaStar control cable is environmentally tested for marine use and exceeds the engine manufacturer's specifications, and is backed by a two-year recreational user warranty against manufacturing defects. This cable is made in the U.S.A. Before ordering, confirm that 11 feet is the correct length for your boat's control-to-engine run.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the SeaStar CC17011 control cable used for? The CC17011 is an 11-foot, 400 Series control cable used to operate shift and throttle functions on pre-1979 OMC, Johnson, and Evinrude outboards equipped with BRP/OMC control heads.

Will the CC17011 fit a 1985 Evinrude with BRP controls? No. The CC17011 is designed specifically for pre-1979 OMC/Johnson/Evinrude engines with BRP/OMC controls, so a later-model engine outside that range is not the intended application for this cable.

How long is this control cable? The SeaStar CC17011 measures 11 feet, matching the length designation in its part number, and this is the length you should verify against your boat's control-to-engine run before ordering.

Is the CC17011 a genuine SeaStar part or aftermarket? It is a genuine SeaStar 400 Series control cable, designed as an OEM direct-replacement type cable that uses the existing connection components at the control head and engine.

What is the outer jacket made of? A black HDPE outer jacket covers the CC17011, which resists abrasion and withstands prolonged exposure to UV, salt water, chemicals, gasoline, and oil.

Does the CC17011 come pre-lubricated? Yes, the CC17011's HDPE liner is lubricated for life at the factory, so no additional lubrication is needed at installation.

What is the minimum bend radius for this cable? 8 inches is the minimum bend radius for the CC17011; routing it tighter than that can damage the core wire or liner.

How much does the CC17011 weigh? The SeaStar CC17011 weighs 1.35 pounds.

Can I install the CC17011 myself? Yes, the CC17011 is built as a drop-in replacement that uses the existing OEM connection components, so it installs in place of the worn factory cable without modification, though correct length verification before ordering is essential.

What warranty comes with the CC17011? SeaStar backs the CC17011 with a two-year recreational user warranty against manufacturing defects.

Where is the CC17011 manufactured? The SeaStar CC17011 control cable is made in the U.S.A.

What core wire type does the CC17011 use? The CC17011 uses stainless or nylon covered core wires with moisture protective seals for added corrosion protection and longer service life.
