SeaStar Xtreme Control Cable CCX17921, 21-Foot, Mercury 600A-Style Replacement for Mercury/Mariner/MerCruiser and Force Engines

The SeaStar Xtreme Control Cable CCX17921 is a 21-foot control cable engineered as a drop-in replacement for the Mercury 600A style control cable, using the existing connection components on compatible engine controls. It is built for Mercury, MerCruiser, Mariner, and most Force outboard and sterndrive engines running Mercury, Quicksilver, or Mariner controls, and covers Mariner/Mercury/MerCruiser engines from 1965-date, Force engines from 1993-date, and all 1993-date Force (US Marine) engines with Force/US Marine/Mercury controls. The cable is not intended for pre-1993, 40 HP and lower Mariner models with Mariner/Mercury controls.

SeaStar's XTREME Technology gives this cable a 4-inch minimum bend radius, compared to the 8-inch minimum bend radius of a standard control cable, making it well suited to complex or long cable runs, or simply a smoother feel at the helm. The cable is protected by a 0.34-inch super tough HDPE jacket that resists abrasion and withstands UV, salt water, chemicals, gasoline, and oil, and is built around 0.033-inch oil-tempered lay wires for strength and performance. A patented splined, coated core element keeps movement smooth with minimal lost motion, while stainless steel terminals and brass fittings add corrosion protection. The cable ships lubricated for life at the factory and is made in the U.S.A.

Frequently Asked Questions

What engines does the CCX17921 control cable fit? The SeaStar CCX17921 fits Mercury, MerCruiser, and Mariner engines from 1965-date and Force engines from 1993-date, all using Mercury controls, plus all 1993-date Force (US Marine) engines with Force/US Marine/Mercury controls.

Is this cable a direct replacement for the Mercury 600A cable? Yes, the CCX17921 is engineered as a drop-in replacement for the Mercury OEM 600A style control cable and uses the existing connection components, so no new hardware is needed at the control or engine end.

How long is the CCX17921 control cable? This SeaStar Xtreme control cable measures 21 feet, matching the 21 designation in its part number CCX17921.

Will this cable work with a pre-1993 Mariner 40 HP outboard? No, the CCX17921 is not intended for pre-1993 Mariner engines of 40 HP or less with Mariner/Mercury controls; that application requires a different cable.

What makes the XTREME cable different from a standard control cable? The XTREME technology in the CCX17921 gives it a 4-inch minimum bend radius versus an 8-inch minimum bend radius on a standard cable, making it better suited to tight or long, complex cable runs.

What is the outer jacket made of? The CCX17921 uses a 0.34-inch super tough HDPE (high-density polyethylene) jacket that resists abrasion and withstands UV exposure, salt water, chemicals, gasoline, and oil.

Does the CCX17921 need to be lubricated before installation? No, this control cable is lubricated at the factory for life, so no additional lubrication is required before or during installation.

What terminals and fittings does this cable use? The CCX17921 has stainless steel terminals and brass fittings, which add corrosion protection at the connection points.

How much does the CCX17921 control cable weigh? The SeaStar CCX17921 control cable weighs 2.94 pounds.

Where is the CCX17921 control cable made? This SeaStar control cable is made in the U.S.A.

Does this cable work with Force outboard engines? Yes, the CCX17921 fits Force engines from 1993-date with Mercury controls, as well as 1993-date Force (US Marine) engines with Force/US Marine/Mercury controls.

What warranty comes with the CCX17921? The CCX17921 is backed by a two-year recreational user warranty covering manufacturing defects.
