SeaStar CCX20514 Xtreme Control Cable, 14 Feet, Mercury Style Engine End for Mercury (1965-date) and Force (1993-date)

The SeaStar CCX20514 is a 14-foot Xtreme control cable built for boaters who need a drop-in replacement for their existing engine control cable. It uses SeaStar's Xtreme Technology, built around a patented splined core: ridges on the core give a close fit with the cable's inner liner, which keeps the cable moving smoothly with minimal lost motion. Compared to a standard control cable's 8-inch minimum bend radius, this Xtreme cable bends down to a 4-inch minimum radius, making it a strong choice for tight or complex cable runs and for foot-throttle setups on performance and bass boats.

Construction is built for the marine environment: a 0.34-inch super tough HDPE jacket resists abrasion and stands up to UV, salt water, chemicals, gasoline, and oil, while the core uses 0.033-inch oil tempered lay wires across 105 copper cable strands for strength and smooth performance. Stainless steel terminals and brass fittings add corrosion protection at the connection points, and the cable is lubricated for life at the factory so it does not need field greasing. It is finished in black and made in the U.S.A.

The CCX20514 has a Mercury style engine end connection and is built for Mercury products (1965-date) and Force products (1993-date) using controls which accept 10-32 threaded ends, making it a fit for most aftermarket control setups using that connection style. It carries a two-year recreational user warranty against manufacturing defects.
