SeaStar CCX18912 Xtreme Control Cable, 12 Feet, for Mercury 4000 Series Controls

The SeaStar CCX18912 is a 12-foot Xtreme control cable engineered as an OEM direct-replacement type cable for Mariner, Mercury, MerCruiser, and other engines using Mercury 2003-date 4000 series controls. It is part of the CCX189XX Mercury Gen II type (premium) cable line and is built as a drop-in replacement that uses the existing connection components at the control head and engine end, so no modification is needed at installation.

SeaStar's Xtreme Technology uses a patented splined core: ridges on the core provide a close fit with the cable's inner liner, allowing smooth movement with minimal lost motion. The cable carries a 0.34 inch super tough HDPE jacket that resists abrasion and withstands UV, salt water, chemicals, gasoline, and oil, along with 0.033 inch oil tempered lay wires for strength and performance. Stainless steel terminals and brass fittings add corrosion protection, and the HDPE liner is lubricated for life at the factory.

A key advantage of the Xtreme design is a 4 inch minimum bend radius, versus an 8 inch minimum bend radius for standard control cables, which makes it well suited to foot throttle applications on performance and bass boats, as well as complex or long cable runs where routing space is tight. The cable is made in the U.S.A. And is designed to fit Mariner/Mercury/MerCruiser and other engines using Mercury 2003-date 4000 series controls. Before ordering, confirm this 12-foot length is correct for your application.
