It is engineered for Mercury, MerCruiser, Mariner, and most Force engines that use Mercury controls, including SeaStar Osprey and SL-3 Series control heads. The cable's XTREME Technology is built around a patented splined core: ridges on the core give a close fit with the cable's inner liner, allowing smooth movement with minimal lost motion, even on complex or long cable runs where standard cables can feel sloppy or bind.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhere a standard control cable needs an 8-inch minimum bend radius, the XTREME design tightens that to a 4-inch minimum bend radius, making it a better fit for performance and bass boats with tight or long cable routing. The cable is protected by a 0.34-inch super tough HDPE jacket that resists abrasion and stands up to UV, salt water, chemicals, gasoline, and oil, with 0.033-inch oil-tempered lay wires for strength and stainless or nylon-covered core wires with moisture-protective seals for corrosion resistance. Terminals are stainless steel and fittings are brass for added corrosion protection, and the cable is lubricated for life at the factory, so no re-greasing is needed at install. It is made in the U.S.A. And backed by a two-year recreational user warranty against manufacturing defects.\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 CCX17908\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Xtreme Control Cable Assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8 feet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.49 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOuter Jacket Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Bend Radius:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCore Wire Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stainless or nylon-covered core wires\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLay Wires:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.033 inch oil-tempered lay wires\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eJacket Thickness:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.34 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTerminal Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stainless steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible Controls:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mercury controls\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of Origin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Made in the U.S.A.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty:\u003c\/strong\u003e Two-year recreational user warranty against manufacturing defects\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 808282272159\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMercury, MerCruiser, and Mariner engines (1965-date) with Mercury controls\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForce engines (1993-date) with Mercury controls\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll Mariner engines with Mariner\/Mercury controls, except pre-1993 40 HP and lower models\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll 1993-date Force (US Marine) engines with Force\/US Marine\/Mercury controls\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeaStar Osprey and SL-3 Series controls to Mercury, MerCruiser, Mariner, and most Force engines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the SeaStar CCX17908 control cable used for?\u003c\/strong\u003e The CCX17908 is an 8-foot Xtreme control cable that serves as a drop-in replacement for Mercury 600A style control cables on Mercury, MerCruiser, Mariner, and most Force engines using Mercury controls.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill the CCX17908 fit my Force outboard?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, CCX17908 fits Force engines from 1993-date when used with Mercury controls, as well as 1993-date Force (US Marine) engines with Force\/US Marine\/Mercury controls.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes this cable work with older Mariner engines?\u003c\/strong\u003e CCX17908 fits Mariner engines with Mariner\/Mercury controls, with the exception of pre-1993 models rated 40 HP and lower, which require a different cable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long is the CCX17908 control cable?\u003c\/strong\u003e This SeaStar Xtreme control cable measures 8 feet in length;
