SeaStar CCX17912 Xtreme Control Cable, 12 Feet, Mercury 600A Style Replacement for Mercury/Mariner/MerCruiser/Force Engines

The SeaStar CCX17912 is a 12-foot Xtreme control cable engineered as a direct, drop-in replacement for Mercury 600A style control cables. It is built for Mercury, MerCruiser and Mariner engines (1965-date) with Mercury controls, Force engines (1993-date) with Mercury controls, and all Mariner engines with Mercury/Mariner controls except pre-1993 models of 40 HP and lower, as well as all 1993-date Force (US Marine) applications with Force/US Marine/Mercury controls. The cable uses the existing connection components already on the boat, so no modification to the control head or engine end is required.

SeaStar's Xtreme technology centers on a patented splined core: ridges on the core create a close fit with the cable's inner liner, allowing smooth movement with minimal lost motion. The design achieves a 4-inch minimum bend radius, half the 8-inch minimum of standard control cables, making it well suited to tight engine compartments, long cable runs, or performance and bass boat applications where cable feel matters. The cable is wrapped in a 0.34-inch Super Tough HDPE jacket that resists abrasion and withstands UV, salt water, chemicals, gasoline and oil, and it uses 0.033-inch oil-tempered lay wires for strength. Terminals are stainless steel with brass fittings for corrosion resistance, and the cable is lubricated for life at the factory. It is made in the U.S.A. And exceeds ABYC safety standards, with ISO/IMCI and NMMA type certification.

Frequently Asked Questions

What length is the SeaStar CCX17912 control cable? The CCX17912 is 12 feet long. Xtreme control cables are sold in fixed lengths, so measure the existing cable run on the boat before ordering to confirm 12 feet is correct for the application.

What engines and controls does the CCX17912 fit? This cable fits Mercury, MerCruiser and Mariner engines (1965-date) with Mercury controls, Force engines (1993-date) with Mercury controls, all Mariner engines with Mercury/Mariner controls except pre-1993 models of 40 HP and lower, and all 1993-date Force (US Marine) engines with Force/US Marine/Mercury controls.

Is the CCX17912 a genuine SeaStar part or an aftermarket copy? It is a genuine SeaStar (formerly Teleflex Marine) Xtreme control cable, engineered as a direct replacement for Mercury 600A style control cables using the existing connection hardware.

What is the minimum bend radius of the SeaStar Xtreme CCX17912? 4 inches, compared to an 8-inch minimum bend radius for standard control cables, which makes it a better fit for tight engine compartments and long or complex cable runs.

What is the cable jacket made of? A 0.34-inch Super Tough HDPE jacket covers the CCX17912, chosen to resist abrasion and withstand UV exposure, salt water, chemicals, gasoline and oil.

Will the CCX17912 fit a pre-1993 Mariner outboard under 40 HP? No. The CCX17912 fits Mariner engines with Mercury/Mariner controls except pre-1993 models of 40 HP and lower, which use a different control cable.

How much does the CCX17912 control cable weigh? The SeaStar CCX17912 weighs 1.91 pounds.

What terminal and core wire materials are used in this cable? The CCX17912 uses stainless steel terminals with brass fittings, along with stainless or nylon-covered core wires that include moisture protective seals for corrosion resistance.

How is the SeaStar Xtreme cable different from a standard control cable? The Xtreme design in the CCX17912 uses a patented splined core for smoother movement with minimal lost motion and achieves a 4-inch minimum bend radius, versus 8 inches for standard cables.

Does the CCX17912 come pre-lubricated? Yes, the cable is lubricated for life at the factory, so no additional lubrication is needed at installation.

What warranty covers the SeaStar CCX17912? A two-year recreational user limited warranty against manufacturing defects covers the CCX17912.

Where is the SeaStar CCX17912 control cable made? The CCX17912 is made in the U.S.A.
