It is designed as a drop-in replacement that uses the existing connection components on the control head and engine, so installation does not require swapping out other hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe cable is built around SeaStar's Xtreme splined core technology, which uses ridges on the core to keep a close fit with the cable's inner liner for smooth movement with minimal lost motion. This construction also gives the cable a 4 inch minimum bend radius, half the 8 inch minimum of a standard control cable, making it a better fit for tight engine compartments, long runs, or routing with multiple bends. The core itself uses 0.033 inch oil tempered lay wires for strength, wrapped in a 0.34 inch super tough HDPE jacket that resists abrasion, UV exposure, salt water, chemicals, gasoline, and oil. Stainless steel terminals and brass fittings add further corrosion protection at the connection points, and the cable is lubricated for life at the factory so no field lubrication is required at installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe CCX20516 exceeds engine manufacturer specifications and is manufactured in the
