SeaStar CCX20528 Control Cable, 28 Feet, for Mercury (1965-date) and Force (1993-date) Engines

The SeaStar CCX20528 is a 28-foot control cable engineered for Mercury products (1965-date) and Force products (1993-date), using controls that accept 10-32 threaded ends or most aftermarket controls. On the engine end it uses a Mercury style connection, and SeaStar states that this cable exceeds the engine manufacturer's specifications for performance and durability. It is built as a direct engine-side control cable for throttle and shift applications on boats running compatible Mercury or Force powerheads and matching control heads.

As a single-item cable assembly (Model CCX205), it measures 17 x 1.5 x 17 inches as packaged and weighs 3.56 pounds, with a listed material of metal for its core construction. The 28-foot length (denoted by the "28" in CCX20528) makes it suited to longer cable runs between the helm control and the engine, and it ships as a single included cable ready to connect to compatible control ends.
