SeaStar CCX17923 Xtreme Control Cable, 23 Feet, Mercury 600A Style Replacement for Mercury/Mariner/MerCruiser and Force Engines

The SeaStar CCX17923 is a 23-foot Xtreme control cable engineered as a direct drop-in replacement for Mercury 600A style control cables, using the existing connection components on the boat so no new hardware is required. It is built for Mercury, Mariner, and MerCruiser engines (1965-date) with Mercury controls, and for Force engines (1993-date) with Force/US Marine/Mercury controls, including Mariner engines with Mercury/Mariner controls other than pre-1993 units of 40 HP and less. The cable's XTREME Technology uses a patented splined core, with ridges that keep a close fit against the cable's inner liner for smooth movement and minimal lost motion. A 4-inch minimum bend radius (versus an 8-inch minimum for standard control cables) makes it well suited to tight, complex, or long cable runs, or simply for a smoother feel at the helm. The 0.34-inch super tough HDPE outer jacket 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 performance, while stainless steel terminals and brass fittings add corrosion protection. The cable is lubricated for life at the factory and uses stainless or nylon covered core wires with moisture protective seals for long service life. It is made in the U.S.A. And exceeds ABYC safety standards, with ISO/IMCI and NMMA type certification.

Frequently Asked Questions

What engines does the SeaStar CCX17923 control cable fit? The CCX17923 fits Mercury, Mariner, and MerCruiser engines (1965-date) using Mercury controls, and Force engines (1993-date) using Force/US Marine/Mercury controls. It also fits Mariner engines with Mercury/Mariner controls, except pre-1993 models of 40 HP and lower.

Is the CCX17923 a direct replacement for the Mercury 600A cable? Yes, the SeaStar CCX17923 Xtreme control cable is engineered as a drop-in replacement for the Mercury 600A style control cable, and it uses the boat's existing connection components without modification.

How long is the CCX17923 control cable? This cable measures 23 feet, as indicated by the 23 in the CCX17923 part number stem.

What is the minimum bend radius of this cable? The CCX17923 has a 4-inch minimum bend radius, compared to an 8-inch minimum bend radius for standard control cables, making it better suited to tight or complex cable runs.

What material is the outer jacket made from? A 0.34-inch super tough HDPE (high-density polyethylene) jacket covers the CCX17923, resisting abrasion, UV exposure, salt water, chemicals, gasoline, and oil.

Does the CCX17923 need to be lubricated before installation? No, the CCX17923 is lubricated for life at the factory, so no additional lubrication is required during installation.

What corrosion protection does this cable have? Stainless steel terminals and brass fittings on the CCX17923 provide corrosion protection, along with moisture protective seals around the stainless or nylon covered core wires.

How much does the CCX17923 control cable weigh? The CCX17923 weighs 3.15 pounds.

Is the SeaStar CCX17923 made in the USA? Yes, the CCX17923 control cable is made in the U.S.A.

What safety standards does this control cable meet? The CCX17923 exceeds ABYC safety standards and is type certified to ISO/IMCI and NMMA requirements.

How is the CCX17923 different from a standard control cable? Compared to a standard control cable, the CCX17923 Xtreme cable has a 4-inch minimum bend radius instead of 8 inches, and uses a patented splined core for smoother movement with less lost motion.

What connection components come with the CCX17923? The CCX17923 is designed to use the existing connection components already on the engine and control head, so no separate connector kit is included.
