SeaStar CCX20512 Xtreme Control Cable, 12 Feet, Mercury Style Engine End for Mercury (1965-date) and Force (1993-date)

The SeaStar CCX20512 is a 12-foot Xtreme control cable engineered as a drop-in replacement for boat throttle and shift control runs. It uses SeaStar's Xtreme Technology, built around a patented splined core: ridges on the core keep a close fit with the cable's inner liner so the cable moves smoothly with minimal lost motion. The Xtreme design also gives the cable a 4 inch minimum bend radius, versus an 8 inch minimum bend radius on standard control cables, which makes it a strong choice for complex or long cable runs, tight engine compartments, and foot-throttle setups on performance and bass boats.

Construction is built for the marine environment: a 0.34 inch super tough HDPE outer jacket resists abrasion and stands up to UV, salt water, chemicals, gasoline, and oil, while 0.033 inch oil tempered lay wires provide strength and consistent performance. Stainless steel terminals and brass fittings add corrosion protection, and the cable is lubricated for life at the factory, so no field lubrication is required. The engine end uses a Mercury style connection, and the control end accepts 10-32 threaded ends or fits most aftermarket controls. The cable is made in the U.S.A.
