SeaStar Xtreme CCX17915 15-Foot Control Cable for Mercury, Mariner, MerCruiser and Force Engines

The SeaStar Xtreme CCX17915 is a 15-foot control cable engineered as a drop-in replacement for the Mercury 600A style control cable, built for Mercury, MerCruiser, Mariner, and most Force engines running Mercury, Quicksilver, or Mariner controls. It uses the existing connection components on your control head, so installation follows the same hookup as the cable it replaces. The cable's patented Xtreme splined core rides inside a long-wearing HDPE liner that is lubed for life, giving smooth, low-friction movement with minimal lost motion at the helm. A 0.34-inch super tough HDPE jacket resists abrasion and stands up to UV, salt water, chemicals, gasoline, and oil, while 0.033-inch oil tempered lay wires and stainless steel terminals with brass fittings add strength and corrosion resistance. The Xtreme design carries a 4-inch minimum bend radius, half that of a standard control cable, making it well suited to tight, complex, or unusually long cable runs where a standard cable would bind or feel stiff. It also pairs with SeaStar Osprey and SL-3 series controls connected to Mercury, MerCruiser, Mariner, and most Force engines. This cable exceeds the engine manufacturer's specifications and is made in the U.S.A.
