SeaStar Xtreme Control Cable CCX17906, 6 Feet, Mercury 600A Style Replacement for Mercury/MerCruiser/Mariner/Force Engines with Mercury Controls

The SeaStar Xtreme Control Cable CCX17906 is a 6-foot drop-in replacement engineered for the Mercury 600A style control cable, using the existing connection components on the boat so no modification is required at installation. It is built for Mercury, MerCruiser, Mariner (1965-date) and Force (1993-date) engines running Mercury controls, and fits all Mariner engines using Mercury/Mariner controls except pre-1993, 40 HP and lower models.

This cable uses SeaStar's XTREME Technology with a patented splined core: ridges on the core give a close fit to the cable's inner liner for easy movement with minimal lost motion, and the design allows a 4-inch minimum bend radius versus an 8-inch minimum bend radius on standard control cables, making it well suited to complex or long cable runs, or simply a smoother feel at the helm. The cable core is built from 0.033-inch oil tempered lay wires for strength, wrapped in a 0.34-inch super tough HDPE jacket that resists abrasion, UV, salt water, chemicals, gasoline, and oil. Stainless steel terminals and brass fittings add corrosion protection, and the HDPE liner is lubed for life at the factory.

Made in the U.S.A., the CCX17906 is lifetime lubricated and requires no field lubrication. Before ordering, verify this 6-foot length is correct for your cable run.

Frequently Asked Questions

What engines and controls does the CCX17906 fit? The SeaStar CCX17906 fits Mercury, MerCruiser, and Mariner engines (1965-date) with Mercury controls, and Force engines (1993-date) with Mercury controls, plus 1993-date Force (US Marine) models with Force/US Marine/Mercury controls.

Does this cable fit all Mariner outboards? It fits all Mariner engines using Mercury/Mariner controls, with one exception: pre-1993 Mariner models of 40 HP and lower are not covered by the CCX17906.

How long is the CCX17906 control cable? The CCX17906 is 6 feet long, as indicated by the '06' in its part number.

What does this cable replace? The CCX17906 is a drop-in replacement for the Mercury 600A style control cable and uses the same existing connection components, so no modification is needed at installation.

What is the bend radius of the SeaStar Xtreme cable? The CCX17906 has a 4-inch minimum bend radius, compared to an 8-inch minimum bend radius on standard control cables, which makes it a better fit for tight or long cable runs.

What materials is the CCX17906 made from? This SeaStar control cable uses a 0.34-inch super tough HDPE outer jacket, 0.033-inch oil tempered lay wires in the core, stainless steel terminals, and brass fittings.

Does the cable need to be lubricated after installation? No, the CCX17906 is lubricated at the factory for life and its HDPE liner is ultra smooth and pre-lubed, so no additional lubrication is required.

How much does the CCX17906 weigh? The SeaStar CCX17906 weighs 1.29 pounds.

Is the CCX17906 resistant to weather and chemical exposure? Yes, its HDPE jacket resists abrasion and withstands UV, salt water, chemicals, gasoline, and oil, and the stainless steel terminals and brass fittings add corrosion protection.

Where is the CCX17906 manufactured? The SeaStar CCX17906 control cable is made in the U.S.A.

How do I know if 6 feet is the correct cable length for my boat? Measure your existing control cable run before ordering the CCX17906, since control cables must be ordered in the correct length for the application; the 6-foot version is one length in the CCX179XX series.

What technology sets this cable apart from a standard control cable? The CCX17906 uses SeaStar's XTREME Technology with a patented splined core, where ridges on the core provide a close fit to the inner liner for smoother movement and minimal lost motion compared to standard cables.
