SeaStar CCX18915 Control Cable, 15 Feet, Mercury Gen II Xtreme, Mariner/Mercury/MerCruiser 4000 Series Controls

The SeaStar CCX18915 is a 15-foot Mercury Gen II type control cable built to the Xtreme premium specification for Mariner, Mercury, MerCruiser, and other engines using Mercury 2003-date 4000 Series Controls. It is engineered as a drop-in replacement for the original equipment cable and uses the existing connection components at the control head and engine, so no modification is required at installation.

The cable's Xtreme Technology uses a patented splined core: ridges on the core create a close fit with the cable's inner HDPE liner, allowing smooth movement with minimal lost motion at the helm. This construction gives the cable a 4 inch minimum bend radius, versus an 8 inch minimum bend radius on standard-type control cables, making it well suited to complex or long cable runs and to foot throttle applications on performance and bass boats. The outer jacket is a 0.34 inch super tough HDPE that resists abrasion and stands up to UV exposure, salt water, chemicals, gasoline, and oil. Internally, 0.033 inch oil tempered lay wires provide strength, while stainless steel terminals and brass fittings add corrosion protection at the connection points. The cable is lubricated at the factory for life and is made in the U.S.A.

Because control cable length is application-specific, confirm the correct length for your boat and control head before ordering.
