It is built to bolt in using the existing connection components on the engine's control head, so no modification to the mounting hardware is needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt the core of the cable is SeaStar's splined, coated core element, which keeps the inner liner and core in close, consistent contact for smooth movement with minimal lost motion at the throttle or shift lever. The cable is protected by a 0.34 inch super tough HDPE jacket that resists abrasion and stands up to UV exposure, salt water, chemicals, gasoline, and oil. Stainless steel terminals and brass fittings add corrosion protection at the connection points, and the HDPE liner is lubricated for life at the factory, so no field lubrication is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA key advantage of the XTREME design is its 4 inch minimum bend radius, versus 8 inches for standard-type control cables. That tighter bend radius makes the CCX18946 well suited to complex or long cable runs and to foot throttle applications on performance and bass boats, where routing space is limited. The cable is made in the U.S.A. And is built to exceed engine manufacturer specifications, ABYC safety standards, and ISO\/IMCI\/NMMA certification requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e
