SeaStar CCX20508 Control Cable, 8 Feet, Mercury (1965-date) and Force (1993-date) Engine End

The SeaStar CCX20508 is an 8-foot control cable built for boats running Mercury products (1965-date) or Force products (1993-date), using a Mercury style engine end connection. On the control end, it accepts controls that use 10-32 threaded ends, or works with most aftermarket controls, giving installers flexibility when matching an existing helm or side-mount control head.

This cable uses SeaStar's XTREME Control Cable Technology, built around a splined core that keeps ridges in close contact with the cable's inner liner for smooth movement and minimal lost motion. The core is protected by a 0.34 inch super tough HDPE jacket that resists abrasion and stands up to UV, salt water, chemicals, gasoline, and oil, while 0.033 inch oil tempered lay wires add strength and consistent feel over long cable runs. Stainless steel terminals and brass fittings guard against corrosion at the connection points, and the cable is lubricated for life at the factory so it does not need field greasing.

The XTREME design gives this cable a 4 inch minimum bend radius, half the 8 inch minimum bend radius of a standard control cable, which makes it a good fit for tight, complex, or long cable runs and for foot throttle applications on performance and bass boats. It is a drop-in replacement engineered to use the existing connection components at both the control and engine ends. The cable is black and made in the U.S.A.
