SeaStar Control Cable CC17016, 400 Series 16 Feet, Fits Pre-1979 OMC/Johnson/Evinrude with BRP/OMC Controls
The SeaStar CC17016 is a 400 Series standard-type control cable assembly measuring 16 feet, engineered as an OEM direct-replacement for outboard engines built before 1979 that use OMC, Johnson, or Evinrude powerheads with BRP/OMC control heads. It uses the existing connection components on the control head, so it drops in without modifying the mounting hardware. The cable core is available in stainless or nylon covered wire construction with moisture protective seals at each end, paired with stainless steel terminals and brass conduit fittings to resist salt water, chemical, and corrosion exposure over the life of the cable. A black HDPE outer jacket wraps the full length of the cable, resisting abrasion and the effects of UV, gasoline, and oil, and the cable is lubricated for life at the factory so it will not need periodic greasing. It is built to an 8 inch minimum bend radius, which matters when routing the cable through tight helm and engine compartments. Every SeaStar control cable is environmentally tested for marine use and is designed to exceed the engine manufacturer's own cable specifications, meeting ABYC safety standards and ISO/IMCI/NMMA certification requirements. Before ordering, confirm 16 feet is the correct length for your steering run, since control cables are not adjustable after the fact. The CC17016 is made in the U.S.A. And is backed by a two-year recreational user warranty against manufacturing defects.
