SeaStar Xtreme Mercury Gen II Control Cable CCX18921, 21-Foot, for Mercury 4000 Series Controls (2003-Date)

The SeaStar Xtreme Mercury Gen II control cable, CCX18921, is a 21-foot OEM direct-replacement type throttle/shift cable built for Mariner, Mercury, MerCruiser, and other engines that use Mercury 2003-date 4000 Series control heads. 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 is built around SeaStar's patented Xtreme splined core, where ridges on the core create a close fit with the cable's inner HDPE liner for smooth, low-friction movement with minimal lost motion. That design gives the Xtreme cable a 4 inch minimum bend radius, compared to an 8 inch minimum bend radius on a standard control cable, which makes it well suited to foot throttle applications on performance and bass boats, and to complex or long cable runs where a standard cable cannot be routed as tightly.

Construction includes 0.033 inch oil tempered lay wires for strength, a 0.34 inch super tough HDPE outer jacket that resists abrasion, UV, salt water, chemicals, gasoline, and oil, and stainless steel terminals with brass fittings for corrosion protection. The core wires are stainless or nylon covered with moisture protective seals, and the cable is lubricated for life at the factory. It is made in the U.S.A. And is backed by a two-year recreational user warranty against manufacturing defects.
