SeaStar Control Cable CC170XX, 18 Feet, for Pre-1979 OMC/Johnson/Evinrude with BRP/OMC Controls

This SeaStar Control Cable, part number CC17018, is an 18-foot, 400 Series OEM direct-replacement control cable engineered for Pre-1979 OMC/Johnson/Evinrude outboards equipped with BRP/OMC controls. It is designed to drop into the existing connection components on the control head, so no modification to the original hardware is required. The cable uses stainless steel terminals and conduit fittings for corrosion resistance, paired with stainless or nylon-covered core wires and moisture protective seals that guard against water intrusion along the full length of the run. A black HDPE outer jacket resists abrasion and withstands the effects of UV exposure, salt water, chemicals, gasoline, and oil, making it suited to the marine environment. The cable has an 8 inch minimum bend radius and is lubricated at the factory for life, so it operates smoothly from installation onward without additional maintenance. It exceeds the engine manufacturer's specifications and meets ABYC safety standards along with ISO/IMCI/NMMA certification requirements. This cable is made in the USA and is backed by a two-year recreational user warranty against manufacturing defects. Before ordering, confirm that 18 feet is the correct cable length for your application.
