SeaStar CCX18950 XTREME Gen II Control Cable, 50 Feet, for Mercury 4000 Series Controls (2003-date)

The SeaStar CCX18950 is a 50 foot XTREME Gen II type control cable built as a direct OEM-type replacement for Mariner, Mercury, and MerCruiser engines and other engines using Mercury 2003-date 4000 series controls. It uses the existing OEM connection components, so it is designed as a drop-in replacement for the original equipment cable rather than requiring modified hardware.

The cable's XTREME Technology is built around a patented splined core. Ridges on the core create a close fit with the cable's inner HDPE liner, allowing easy movement with minimal lost motion and giving this cable a 4 inch minimum bend radius, compared to an 8 inch minimum bend radius on standard control cables. That tighter bend radius makes it well suited to foot throttle applications on performance and bass boats and to complex or long cable runs where routing space is limited.

Construction includes a 0.34 inch Super Tough HDPE jacket that resists abrasion and withstands UV, salt water, chemicals, gasoline, and oil, along with 0.033 inch oil tempered lay wires for strength and performance. Stainless steel terminals and brass fittings add corrosion protection, and the HDPE liner is lubricated for life at the factory. The cable is made in the U.S.A.

Frequently Asked Questions

What engines does the SeaStar CCX18950 control cable fit? The CCX18950 is designed for Mariner, Mercury, and MerCruiser engines and other engines using Mercury 2003-date 4000 series controls.

How long is the CCX18950 control cable? The CCX18950 is 50 feet long, making it suited to complex or long cable runs where a longer reach is needed.

What is the minimum bend radius on this cable? 4 inches. The CCX18950 uses SeaStar's XTREME splined core, which allows a 4 inch minimum bend radius versus an 8 inch minimum bend radius on standard control cables.

Is the CCX18950 a direct replacement for the original cable? Yes. The CCX18950 is engineered as a drop-in replacement for the original equipment control cable and uses the existing OEM connection components, so no additional hardware modification is needed.

What is the cable jacket made of? The CCX18950 has a 0.34 inch Super Tough HDPE jacket that resists abrasion and withstands UV exposure, salt water, chemicals, gasoline, and oil.

What are the terminals and fittings made of on this cable? The CCX18950 uses stainless steel terminals and brass fittings, both chosen for added corrosion protection in marine environments.

Does the CCX18950 come pre-lubricated? Yes, the CCX18950's HDPE liner is lubricated for life at the factory, so no additional lubrication is required at installation.

Is the CCX18950 good for foot throttle applications? Yes. The tighter 4 inch bend radius on the CCX18950 makes it well suited to foot throttle applications on performance and bass boats.

Where is the CCX18950 control cable made? The SeaStar CCX18950 control cable is made in the U.S.A.

What gauge or type of core wire is used in the CCX18950? The CCX18950 uses 0.033 inch oil tempered lay wires for strength and performance, along with SeaStar's XTREME splined, coated core element.

How much does the CCX18950 control cable weigh? The CCX18950 weighs 6.21 pounds.

What is the difference between this XTREME cable and a standard SeaStar control cable? The main difference is the bend radius: the CCX18950's XTREME splined core allows a 4 inch minimum bend radius, versus an 8 inch minimum bend radius required for standard SeaStar control cables, while both use the same OEM-type connection components.
