SeaStar CCX18922 Xtreme Control Cable, Mercury Gen II Type - Mariner/Mercury/MerCruiser 4000 Series Controls (2003-date)

The SeaStar CCX18922 is a Mercury Gen II type (premium) Xtreme control cable built as a direct-replacement for the proprietary control cable connection used on Mariner, Mercury, and MerCruiser engines, as well as other engines running Mercury 2003-date 4000 Series Controls. It is engineered as a drop-in replacement for original equipment cables, using the existing connection components so installation does not require modifying the control head or engine hardware.

This cable uses SeaStar's XTREME Technology, built around a patented splined core. Ridges on the core create a close fit with the cable's inner liner, allowing smooth movement with minimal lost motion at the helm. The XTREME design also gives the cable a 4 inch minimum bend radius, compared to an 8 inch minimum bend radius on standard control cables, making it well suited to complex or long cable runs, tight engine rooms, and foot throttle applications on performance and bass boats.

Durability comes from a 0.34 inch super tough HDPE jacket that resists abrasion and withstands UV exposure, salt water, chemicals, gasoline, and oil, paired with 0.033 inch oil tempered lay wires for strength. Stainless steel terminals and brass fittings add corrosion protection, and the HDPE liner is lubricated for life at the factory. The CCX18922 is made in the U.S.A. And is backed by a two-year recreational user warranty against manufacturing defects.
