It is part of SeaStar's Xtreme Gen II premium line, built for foot throttle applications on performance and bass boats and for complex or long cable runs where a standard cable would bind or add drag.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe cable is built around a patented splined core: ridges on the core provide a close fit with the cable's inner HDPE liner, allowing smooth movement with minimal lost motion. This Xtreme construction gives the cable a 4 inch minimum bend radius, versus an 8 inch minimum bend radius on standard control cables, so it can be routed through tighter spaces without performance loss. The outer jacket is a 0.34 inch super tough HDPE that resists abrasion and withstands UV, salt water, chemicals, gasoline, and oil. Internally, 0.033 inch oil tempered lay wires provide strength, while stainless steel terminals and brass fittings add corrosion protection at the connection points.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe cable connects using the existing OEM connection components, so no adapters are required at the control head or engine end, and it is lubricated for life at the factory. It is made in the U.S.A. And exceeds engine manufacturer specifications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e SeaStar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e CCX18918\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Line:\u003c\/strong\u003e Xtreme Gen II Premium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18 feet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible Controls:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mercury 4000 Series Controls, 2003-date\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible Engines:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mariner, Mercury, MerCruiser\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBend Radius:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4 inches minimum (versus 8 inches minimum for standard cables)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOuter Jacket:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.34 inch high-density polyethylene (HDPE)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCore Wire Diameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.033 inch oil tempered lay wires\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTerminals:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stainless steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFittings:\u003c\/strong\u003e Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCore Design:\u003c\/strong\u003e Splined core with protective coating\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLubrication:\u003c\/strong\u003e Factory lubricated for life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of Origin:\u003c\/strong\u003e United States of America\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.6 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eMariner, Mercury, and MerCruiser engines and other engines using Mercury 2003-date 4000 Series Controls\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat engines and controls does the CCX18918 fit?\u003c\/strong\u003e The SeaStar Xtreme CCX18918 fits Mariner, Mercury, and MerCruiser engines, and other engines that use Mercury 2003-date 4000 Series Controls.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long is this control cable?\u003c\/strong\u003e CCX18918 is an 18 foot control cable, so measure your existing cable run before ordering to confirm this length matches your application.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the minimum bend radius on this cable?\u003c\/strong\u003e 4 inches, which is half the 8 inch minimum bend radius of a standard control cable, making the CCX18918 better suited to tight routing and complex cable runs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the CCX18918 made from?\u003c\/strong\u003e It uses stainless steel terminals, brass fittings, 0.033 inch oil tempered lay wires, a splined core, and a 0.34 inch high-density polyethylene (HDPE) outer jacket.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the outer jacket resistant to fuel and saltwater exposure?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes.
