SeaStar CCX18923 Xtreme Control Cable, 23 Feet, for Mercury 4000 Series Controls (2003-Date)

The SeaStar CCX18923 is a Gen II premium-type Xtreme control cable built as a drop-in replacement for Mariner, Mercury, and MerCruiser engines (and other engines using Mercury 2003-date 4000 Series Controls). It uses the existing connection components at the control head, so installation follows the same hookup as the original equipment cable it replaces.

Xtreme Technology gives this 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 and to foot-throttle setups on performance and bass boats where routing space is tight. Inside, a patented splined, coated core element rides in a long-wearing HDPE liner that is lubricated for life, allowing smooth, low-friction movement with minimal lost motion at the helm. The core itself uses 0.033 inch oil-tempered lay wires for strength, wrapped in a 0.34 inch super-tough HDPE outer jacket that resists abrasion and stands up to UV, salt water, chemicals, gasoline, and oil.

Stainless steel terminals and brass fittings add corrosion resistance at the connection points, and the cable is manufactured in the U.S.A. To exceed engine manufacturer specifications, ABYC safety standards, and ISO/IMCI/NMMA certification requirements. Before ordering, confirm this 23 foot length is correct for your control run.
