SeaStar CCX20523 Control Cable, 23 Feet, Mercury and Force Engine Connection, 10-32 Threaded Control End

The SeaStar CCX20523 is a 23-foot control cable built with SeaStar's XTREME Technology for outboard throttle and shift applications. It features a Mercury-style engine end connection for Mercury (1965-date) and Force (1993-date) outboards, and a control end that accepts 10-32 threaded ends or fits most aftermarket controls, exceeding engine manufacturer specifications.

The cable uses a patented splined core that rides smoothly inside an ultra-smooth, factory-lubricated HDPE liner, minimizing lost motion and giving a tight, responsive feel at the helm. Its 0.34 inch super tough HDPE jacket resists abrasion and withstands UV, saltwater, chemicals, gasoline, and oil, while 0.033 inch oil tempered lay wires provide superior strength. Stainless steel and nylon covered core wires with moisture protective seals, stainless steel terminals, and brass fittings add further corrosion protection for long service life in a marine environment.

A 4 inch minimum bend radius (versus 8 inches for standard control cables) makes this cable well suited to tight, complex, or long cable runs, including foot throttle setups on performance and bass boats. It is drop-in compatible with existing connection components, made in the U.S.A., and backed by a two-year recreational user warranty against manufacturing defects.
