SeaStar CCX18920 Control Cable, Gen II XTREME, Mercury 4000 Series, 20 Feet

The SeaStar CCX18920 is a Gen II XTREME type control cable engineered as a direct-replacement for Mariner, Mercury, and MerCruiser engines and other engines that use Mercury 2003-date 4000 series controls. It uses SeaStar's XTREME Technology, built around a patented splined core: ridges on the core give a close fit with the cable's inner liner, allowing smooth, low-friction movement with minimal lost motion at the helm. The cable carries a 4 inch minimum bend radius, half that of a standard control cable, making it well suited to complex or long cable runs, tight engine room routing, and foot throttle applications on performance and bass boats.

Construction features a 0.34 inch Super Tough HDPE outer jacket that resists abrasion and stands up to UV exposure, salt water, chemicals, gasoline, and oil, over 0.033 inch oil tempered lay wires for strength and consistent performance. Stainless steel terminals and brass fittings add corrosion protection at the connection points, and the cable is lubricated for life at the factory so it does not require field greasing. It is designed as a drop-in replacement that uses the existing OEM connection components, so no modification to the control head or engine end fitting is needed. The cable is made in the U.S.A. And is backed by a limited warranty against manufacturing defects.
