SeaStar Xtreme Gen II Control Cable CCX18917, 17 Feet, for Mariner/Mercury/MerCruiser 4000 Series Controls (2003-date)

The SeaStar CCX18917 is a 17 foot Xtreme Gen II (premium) control cable built as a drop-in, OEM direct-replacement type cable for Mariner, Mercury, MerCruiser, and other engines using Mercury 2003-date 4000 Series Controls. It uses the existing connection components on the control head, so no modification is needed at installation.

The cable's Xtreme Technology is built around a patented splined core: ridges on the core create a close fit with the cable's inner liner, giving smooth movement with minimal lost motion. This construction also allows a 4 inch minimum bend radius, versus an 8 inch minimum bend radius on standard control cables, which makes it well suited to complex or long cable runs and to foot throttle applications on performance and bass boats.

The cable is protected by a 0.34 inch super tough HDPE (high-density polyethylene) outer jacket that resists abrasion and stands up to UV exposure, salt water, chemicals, gasoline, and oil. Inside, 0.033 inch oil tempered lay wires provide strength, and the core wires carry moisture-protective seals for added corrosion resistance. Terminals are stainless steel and fittings are brass for further corrosion protection. The cable is lubricated for life at the factory and is made in the U.S.A.
