SeaStar CCX17914 Xtreme Control Cable, 14 Feet, Mercury 600A Style Replacement
The SeaStar CCX17914 is a 14-foot Xtreme control cable engineered as a drop-in replacement for the Mercury 600A style control cable, using the boat's existing connection components. It is built for Mariner, Mercury, and MerCruiser engines (1965-date) with Mercury controls, Force outboards (1993-date) with Mercury controls, all Mariner engines with Mercury/Mariner controls except pre-1993 40 HP and lower models, and SeaStar Solutions Osprey and SL-3 Series controls paired with Mercury, MerCruiser, Mariner, and most Force engines.
Xtreme Technology gives this cable a patented splined core: ridges on the core keep a close fit with the cable's inner liner, so it moves smoothly with minimum lost motion. That construction gives it a 4-inch minimum bend radius, versus an 8-inch minimum bend radius for standard control cables, making it well suited to complex routing, long cable runs, or performance and bass boats where a tighter, more direct feel is wanted. The cable is protected by a 0.34-inch super tough HDPE outer jacket that resists abrasion and stands up to UV, salt water, chemicals, gasoline, and oil, while 0.033-inch oil tempered lay wires provide strength and consistent performance. Stainless steel terminals and brass fittings guard against corrosion, and the cable is lubricated for life at the factory. It is made in the U.S.A. And connects with a male-to-male connector rated to 12 Volts DC.
