SeaStar CCX17910 XTREME Control Cable, 10 Feet, for Mercury, MerCruiser, Mariner and Force Engines with Mercury Controls

The SeaStar CCX17910 is a 10-foot XTREME control cable engineered as a drop-in replacement for the Mercury 600A style control cable used on Mercury, MerCruiser, Mariner, and most Force outboard and sterndrive engines equipped with Mercury controls. It uses the existing connection components at both the engine and control head, so installation follows the same routing and hookup as the original cable. The cable is built around SeaStar's XTREME splined, coated core element, which uses ridges on the core to keep a close fit with the inner liner, giving smoother movement and less lost motion than a standard control cable. This construction allows a 4-inch minimum bend radius, compared to an 8-inch minimum bend radius on standard cables, making it well suited to tight engine rooms, performance and bass boats, and complex or long cable runs.

The cable is protected by a 0.34-inch super tough HDPE jacket that resists abrasion and stands up to UV exposure, salt water, chemicals, gasoline, and oil. Inside, 0.033-inch oil tempered lay wires provide strength and consistent performance, while stainless steel terminals and brass fittings add corrosion protection at the connection points. The core is lubricated for life at the factory, so no additional greasing is required at installation. It applies to Mariner/Mercury/MerCruiser engines (1965-date) with Mercury controls, Force engines (1993-date) with Mercury controls, and SeaStar Osprey and SL-3 Series controls paired with Mercury, MerCruiser, Mariner, and most Force engines. Confirm the correct cable length for your application before ordering, since control cables are not adjustable after the fact.

Frequently Asked Questions

What engines and controls is the SeaStar CCX17910 compatible with? The CCX17910 fits Mariner, Mercury, and MerCruiser engines (1965-date) with Mercury controls, and Force engines (1993-date) with Mercury controls, along with SeaStar Osprey and SL-3 Series controls paired to Mercury, MerCruiser, Mariner, and most Force engines.

How long is the CCX17910 control cable? This cable measures 10 feet, matching the length code in the CCX17910 part number. Confirm the correct length for your boat before ordering, since control cables are not adjustable once installed.

Does this cable fit pre-1993 40 HP Mariner engines? No, the CCX17910 covers Mariner engines with Mercury/Mariner controls except pre-1993, 40 HP and lower models, which use a different cable.

Is the CCX17910 a direct replacement for the factory cable? Yes, the CCX17910 is designed as a drop-in replacement for the Mercury 600A style control cable and uses the existing connection components at both the engine and control head.

What is the bend radius of the SeaStar XTREME control cable? The CCX17910 has a 4-inch minimum bend radius, half the 8-inch minimum bend radius of a standard control cable, which helps it route through tighter spaces and complex cable runs.

What is the outer jacket made of? The CCX17910 uses a 0.34-inch super tough HDPE jacket that resists abrasion and withstands UV exposure, salt water, chemicals, gasoline, and oil.

What materials are used at the cable terminals? The CCX17910 has stainless steel terminals and brass fittings at its connection points, added for corrosion protection in a marine environment.

Does the CCX17910 need to be lubricated before installation? No, the CCX17910 is lubricated for life at the factory, so no additional greasing of the core is needed during installation.

How much does the CCX17910 control cable weigh? The SeaStar CCX17910 weighs 1.7 pounds.

Where is the SeaStar CCX17910 control cable made? The CCX17910 XTREME control cable is made in the U.S.A.

How many pins does the connector use and how much current can it handle? The CCX17910 uses a 2-pin male-to-female connector rated for up to 600 amps.

What is the difference between the XTREME cable and a standard control cable? The CCX17910 XTREME cable uses a splined, coated core for a closer fit and less lost motion, and allows a 4-inch minimum bend radius versus 8 inches for a standard cable, giving a smoother feel on long or complex cable runs.
