SeaStar CC17020 400 Type Control Cable, 20 Feet, for 1993-Date Mercury, Mariner and Force Outboard Controls
The SeaStar CC17020 is a 20-foot, 400 type standard control cable engineered as a drop-in replacement for outboard engine control heads that use a proprietary control cable connection. It is built for 1993-date engines with Mercury controls, all Mariner engines with Mercury/Mariner controls (except pre-1993 40 HP and lower models), and all 1993-date Force (US Marine) engines with Force/US Marine/Mercury controls. The cable uses the existing connection components at both ends, so installation follows the same routing and hookup as the original equipment cable it replaces.
Construction features stainless steel terminals and brass fittings for corrosion resistance, along with stainless or nylon covered core wires and moisture protective seals to further guard against corrosion. The cable core rides inside a long-wearing HDPE liner that is smooth and lubricated for life, and the assembly is finished with a black HDPE outer jacket that resists abrasion and withstands UV exposure, salt water, chemicals, gasoline, and oil. The cable has an 8-inch minimum bend radius and is lubricated at the factory for the life of the product. It is manufactured in the U.S.A. And exceeds the engine manufacturer's specifications. Before ordering, verify that 20 feet is the correct length for your control cable run.

Frequently Asked Questions
What engines does the CC17020 control cable fit? The SeaStar CC17020 fits 1993-date engines with Mercury controls, all Mariner engines with Mercury/Mariner controls (except pre-1993 40 HP and lower models), and all 1993-date Force (US Marine) engines with Force/US Marine/Mercury controls.
How long is the CC17020 cable? This SeaStar control cable measures 20 feet, as indicated by the 20 in the CC17020 part number. Confirm this matches your control cable run before ordering, since cable length is not adjustable after purchase.
Is the CC17020 an OEM part or an aftermarket cable? The CC17020 is a SeaStar drop-in replacement type cable designed to use the existing connection components on 400 type control heads, rather than a cable pulled from an original engine assembly line.
What is the CC17020 cable made of? The CC17020 uses stainless steel terminals and brass fittings, stainless or nylon covered core wires with moisture protective seals, and a black HDPE outer jacket over an HDPE liner.
Does the CC17020 resist corrosion and UV exposure? Yes. The stainless steel terminals, brass fittings, and moisture protective seals on the CC17020 guard against corrosion, and the black HDPE outer jacket resists abrasion, UV, salt water, chemicals, gasoline, and oil.
What is the minimum bend radius for this cable? The SeaStar CC17020 has an 8-inch minimum bend radius, which should be maintained when routing the cable to avoid kinking the core wire or liner.
Does the CC17020 come pre-lubricated? Yes, the CC17020 is lubricated at the factory for the life of the cable, and the HDPE liner is designed to stay smooth without additional maintenance lubrication.
Where is the CC17020 control cable manufactured? The SeaStar CC17020 is made in the U.S.A.
How many wires and strands does the CC17020 have? The CC17020 has 2 wires and 1 cable strand in its core construction.
What warranty covers the CC17020? SeaStar backs the CC17020 with a two-year recreational user warranty against manufacturing defects.
Does the CC17020 meet marine industry standards? The CC17020 exceeds the engine manufacturer's specifications and is environmentally tested for marine applications, meeting ABYC safety standards and ISO/IMCI/NMMA certification requirements.
Can the CC17020 be used with any 400 type control cable connection? The CC17020 is built for the 400 type standard control cable connection on 1993-date Mercury-control engines, Mariner engines with Mercury/Mariner controls (except pre-1993 40 HP and lower models), and 1993-date Force engines with Force/US Marine/Mercury controls, and it uses the existing connection components at the control head.
