SeaStar Control Cable CC17017, 17-Foot 400 Series, for Pre-1979 OMC/Johnson/Evinrude with BRP/OMC Controls

The SeaStar CC17017 is a 17-foot, 400 Series control cable assembly built as an OEM direct-replacement type cable for pre-1979 OMC/Johnson/Evinrude engines equipped with BRP/OMC controls. It is designed to connect directly to the existing OEM control head connection components, so no adapter or modification is needed at the helm or engine end.

The cable uses stainless steel terminals and brass fittings for corrosion resistance, with stainless or nylon covered core wires and moisture protective seals that guard against water intrusion along the length of the cable. The outer jacket is a durable black HDPE material that resists abrasion and withstands UV exposure, salt water, chemicals, gasoline, and oil. The liner is long-wearing HDPE that is ultra smooth and lubed for life, and the entire cable is lubricated at the factory. The cable has a minimum bend radius of 8 inches, which should be respected during routing and installation to avoid binding or premature wear.

Every SeaStar control cable is environmentally tested for marine applications and is manufactured to exceed the engine manufacturer's specifications. Cables are built and tested to meet ABYC safety standards and ISO/IMCI/NMMA certification requirements, and are backed by a two-year recreational user warranty against manufacturing defects. Before ordering, verify that 17 feet is the correct cable length for your application, since control cables are sold by exact length and are not adjustable.
