SeaStar CCX21418 Control Cable, 18-Foot XTREME Cable for OMC-Volvo Penta Side Mount Controls

The SeaStar CCX21418 is an 18-foot XTREME control cable engineered as a drop-in replacement for OMC snap-in type control cables used on Volvo Penta engines fitted with OMC/BRP side mount controls. It uses the existing connection components at both ends, so installation does not require modifying the control head or engine-side hardware. The cable is built around SeaStar's patented splined core, where ridges on the core create a close fit with the cable's inner liner, allowing smooth movement with minimal lost motion at the helm.

XTREME technology gives this cable a 4-inch minimum bend radius, compared to an 8-inch minimum bend radius on standard control cables, which makes it well suited to foot throttle applications on performance and bass boats, as well as complex or long cable runs where routing space is tight. The cable jacket is 0.34-inch Super Tough HDPE that resists abrasion and stands up to UV exposure, salt water, chemicals, gasoline, and oil. Core wires are 0.033-inch oil tempered lay wires for strength, paired with stainless steel terminals and brass fittings for added corrosion resistance. The liner is lubricated for life at the factory, and the core wires carry moisture-protective seals for long-term corrosion protection.

This cable is intended for Volvo Penta engines using OMC/BRP side mount controls that accept the OMC snap-in type cable connection. It is manufactured in the U.S.A. And is designed to meet marine control cable duty on both foot throttle and side mount console applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the SeaStar CCX21418 control cable used for? The CCX21418 is an 18-foot control cable used on Volvo Penta engines equipped with OMC/BRP side mount controls, serving as a drop-in replacement for the original equipment snap-in type control cable.

Will this cable work with my existing control head? Yes, the CCX21418 uses the existing connection components at the control head and engine end, since it is engineered as a direct replacement for the OMC snap-in type cable already in place on side mount control setups.

How long is the CCX21418 control cable? This cable measures 18 feet in length, matching the length needed for the specific run it is designed to replace on OMC/BRP side mount control installations.

What makes an XTREME cable different from a standard control cable? A minimum bend radius of 4 inches on the CCX21418 allows tighter routing than a standard control cable's 8-inch minimum bend radius, which matters on boats with complex or long cable runs and for foot throttle setups.

What is the outer jacket made of? The CCX21418 has a 0.34 inch Super Tough HDPE jacket that resists abrasion and withstands UV exposure, salt water, chemicals, gasoline, and oil.

Does the cable come pre-lubricated? Yes, the liner on the CCX21418 is lubricated for life at the factory, so no additional lubrication is required during installation.

What are the terminals and fittings made of? Stainless steel terminals and brass fittings are used on the CCX21418 for added corrosion resistance in the marine environment.

Is this cable suitable for foot throttle applications? Yes, the tight 4-inch minimum bend radius on the CCX21418 makes it well suited to foot throttle applications on performance and bass boats.

Where is the CCX21418 manufactured? This control cable is made in the U.S.A.

What is included when I order this cable? Ordering the CCX21418 includes one complete 18-foot control cable assembly with terminals and fittings attached, ready to connect using existing connection components.

What color is the cable housing? The CCX21418 has a black cable jacket.

How much does the CCX21418 weigh? The CCX21418 control cable weighs 2.45 pounds.
