It uses the existing OEM connection components, so no modification to the control head is needed for installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe cable is built around SeaStar's patented Xtreme splined core, which uses ridges to keep a close, low-friction fit with the cable's inner liner, delivering smooth movement with minimal lost motion. This construction gives the cable 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 and to foot-throttle applications on performance and bass boats. The core wire is 0.033 inch oil tempered lay wire for strength, wrapped in a long-wearing HDPE liner that is lubricated for life. The outer jacket is 0.34 inch super tough HDPE that resists abrasion and stands up to UV exposure, salt water, chemicals, gasoline, and oil.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTerminals are stainless steel and fittings are brass, both chosen for corrosion resistance in a marine environment, and moisture-protective seals at the core wire add further protection against corrosion. The cable is lubricated at the factory for life and is made in the U.S.A. Before ordering, confirm that 9 feet is the correct cable length for your installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e SeaStar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e CCX18909\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCable Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9 feet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCable Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Xtreme Control Cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible Devices:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mariner\/Mercury\/MerCruiser and other engines using Mercury 2003-date 4000 Series Controls\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Bend Radius:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4 inches (versus 8 inches for standard control cables)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOuter Jacket:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.34 inch super tough HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCore Wire:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.033 inch oil tempered lay wire\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTerminals:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stainless steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFittings:\u003c\/strong\u003e Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnector Gender:\u003c\/strong\u003e Male-to-Male\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of Origin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Made in the U.S.A.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.55 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 808282272555\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eMariner\/Mercury\/MerCruiser and other engines using Mercury 2003-date 4000 Series Controls\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the SeaStar CCX18909 control cable used for?\u003c\/strong\u003e The CCX18909 is a 9-foot Xtreme-type control cable used to connect a boat's control head to the engine's throttle or shift mechanism on Mariner, Mercury, and MerCruiser (and other) engines that use Mercury 2003-date 4000 Series Controls.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill the CCX18909 fit my engine's control head?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, if your engine uses Mercury 2003-date 4000 Series Controls; the CCX18909 is built to work with the existing OEM connection components on Mariner, Mercury, and MerCruiser engines using that control system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long is this control cable?\u003c\/strong\u003e The CCX18909 measures 9 feet in length.
