SeaStar CCX20509 Control Cable, 9 Feet, Mercury and Force Engine End Connection

The SeaStar CCX20509 is a 9-foot XTREME control cable built to connect a boat's helm control to the engine's throttle or shift linkage. It uses a Mercury style engine end connection and is designed for Mercury products (1965-date) and Force products (1993-date), fitting controls that accept 10-32 threaded ends or most aftermarket controls. At the core of the design is SeaStar's patented splined core: ridges on the core keep a close fit with the cable's inner liner, allowing smooth movement with minimal lost motion. The cable carries a 4 inch minimum bend radius, half the 8 inch minimum of a standard cable, making it well suited to foot throttle setups, complex routing, or long cable runs where a standard cable would bind. A 0.34 inch super tough HDPE jacket resists abrasion and stands up to UV, salt water, chemicals, gasoline, and oil, while 0.033 inch oil tempered lay wires provide the core wire strength. 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 the cable moves smoothly without added maintenance. This is a drop-in replacement cable that uses the existing connection components, so no additional hardware conversion is needed. It is made in the U.S.A. And weighs 1.63 pounds.

What kind of engine control heads work with this cable? CCX20509 fits controls that accept 10-32 threaded ends, as well as most aftermarket controls.

Is CCX20509 the right cable for OMC, BRP, or Volvo controls? No. CCX20509 uses a Mercury style engine end connection for Mercury and Force engines; SeaStar offers separate control cable lines with different part numbers for Volvo/OMC and US Marine L-Drive applications, so the correct cable depends on the control type.

What is the minimum bend radius on this cable? The CCX20509 XTREME cable has a 4 inch minimum bend radius, compared to an 8 inch minimum bend radius on a standard control cable, which helps it handle tighter or more complex cable routing.

What is the outer jacket made of? A 0.34 inch super tough HDPE jacket covers the CCX20509 cable, resisting abrasion, UV exposure, salt water, chemicals, gasoline, and oil.

Does the cable come pre-lubricated? Yes, the CCX20509 cable's HDPE liner is lubricated for life at the factory, so the core moves smoothly without needing added lubrication.

What protects the cable from corrosion? Stainless steel terminals and brass fittings are used on CCX20509's connection points for added corrosion resistance.

How much does the CCX20509 control cable weigh? This 9-foot control cable weighs 1.63 pounds.

How is this cable different from a standard control cable? The XTREME construction used in CCX20509 has a patented splined core that keeps a close fit with the cable's inner liner for smoother movement with less lost motion, plus a 4 inch minimum bend radius versus 8 inches for a standard cable.

Can CCX20509 be installed with the existing control hardware? Yes, it is a drop-in replacement cable designed to use the existing connection components already on the boat.

Where is the CCX20509 control cable made? SeaStar manufactures the CCX20509 control cable in the U.S.A.
