SeaStar Control Cable CCX18916 XTREME Gen II 16 Feet for Mercury 4000 Series Controls

The SeaStar CCX18916 is a 16 foot XTREME Gen II control cable engineered as a direct OEM-type replacement for Mariner, Mercury, and MerCruiser engines, and other engines using Mercury 2003-date 4000 Series Controls. Built with SeaStar's patented XTREME Technology, the cable uses a splined core with ridges that create a close fit against the cable's inner liner, allowing smooth movement with minimal lost motion. This design gives the cable a 4 inch minimum bend radius, compared to an 8 inch minimum bend radius on standard control cables, making it well suited to complex or long cable runs and to foot throttle applications on performance and bass boats.

The cable is protected by a 0.34 inch super tough HDPE jacket that resists abrasion and withstands UV exposure, salt water, chemicals, gasoline, and oil. Internally, 0.033 inch oil tempered lay wires provide strength and performance, while stainless steel terminals and brass fittings add corrosion protection. The HDPE liner is lubricated for life at the factory, and stainless or nylon covered core wires with moisture protective seals extend service life. As a drop-in replacement, the CCX18916 is designed to use the existing connection components on the engine control head, with no modification required. It is made in the U.S.A. And is backed by a two-year recreational user warranty against manufacturing defects.
