SeaStar CCX17928 XTREME Control Cable, 28 Feet, Mercury 600A Style Replacement for Mercury, Mariner, MerCruiser and Force Engines

The SeaStar CCX17928 is a 28-foot XTREME control cable engineered as a drop-in replacement for the Mercury 600A style control cable, using the existing connection components on the engine so no new hardware is required at the control head or engine end. It is built for Mariner, Mercury, and MerCruiser engines (1965-date) with Mercury controls, Force engines (1993-date) with Mercury controls, all Mariner engines with Mercury/Mariner controls except pre-1993 40 HP and lower models, all 1993-date Force (US Marine) engines with Force/US Marine/Mercury controls, and SeaStar Solutions Osprey and SL-3 Series controls to Mercury, MerCruiser, Mariner, and most Force engines.

XTREME cables use a patented splined core: ridges on the core create a close fit with the cable's inner liner, giving smooth movement with minimal lost motion. The cable has a 4-inch minimum bend radius (versus an 8-inch minimum bend radius for standard cables), making it suited to tight or complex routing and long cable runs. A 0.34-inch super tough HDPE jacket resists abrasion and stands up to UV, salt water, chemicals, gasoline, and oil, while 0.033-inch oil tempered lay wires provide strength, and stainless steel terminals with brass fittings add corrosion protection. Core wires are stainless or nylon covered with moisture protective seals for added corrosion resistance and longer life. The cable is lifetime lubricated at the factory and made in the U.S.A. Exceeds engine manufacturer specifications and is backed by a two-year recreational user warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions

What length is the SeaStar CCX17928 control cable? The CCX17928 is 28 feet long, as indicated by the last two digits of its part number.

Will the CCX17928 fit my Mercury or Mariner outboard? Yes, this cable fits Mercury, Mariner, and MerCruiser engines from 1965-date that use Mercury controls, as well as all Mariner engines with Mercury/Mariner controls except pre-1993 40 HP and lower models.

Does the CCX17928 work with Force outboards? Yes, it fits Force engines from 1993-date with Mercury controls, and all 1993-date Force (US Marine) engines with Force/US Marine/Mercury controls.

Is the CCX17928 a direct replacement for the OEM cable, or does it need new fittings? It is engineered as a drop-in replacement for the Mercury 600A style control cable and uses the existing connection components, so no new fittings are needed at the control or engine end.

What makes an XTREME cable different from a standard control cable? The XTREME design in the CCX17928 uses a patented splined core with ridges that create a close fit against the cable's inner liner, giving smoother movement with less lost motion, and it allows a 4-inch minimum bend radius compared to 8 inches for standard cables.

What is the jacket made of and how durable is it? The CCX17928 has a 0.34-inch super tough HDPE jacket that resists abrasion and withstands UV exposure, salt water, chemicals, gasoline, and oil.

How much does the CCX17928 control cable weigh? The CCX17928 weighs 3.75 pounds.

Does the CCX17928 come pre-lubricated? Yes, the cable is lubricated at the factory for life, so no additional lubrication is needed at installation.

What corrosion protection features does the CCX17928 have? It uses stainless steel terminals and brass fittings, plus stainless or nylon covered core wires with moisture protective seals, for added corrosion resistance.

Is the CCX17928 suitable for tight or complex cable routing? Yes, its 4-inch minimum bend radius makes the CCX17928 well suited to complex and long cable runs where a standard cable's 8-inch minimum bend radius would not fit.

Where is the CCX17928 control cable made? The CCX17928 is made in the U.S.A.

What warranty comes with the CCX17928? The CCX17928 is backed by a two-year recreational user warranty against manufacturing defects.
