SeaStar CCX20517 Xtreme Control Cable, 17 Feet, Mercury (1965-date) and Force (1993-date)

The SeaStar CCX20517 is a 17-foot Xtreme control cable engineered as a drop-in replacement for original equipment control cables on Mercury (1965-date) and Force (1993-date) engines running aftermarket controls that accept 10-32 threaded ends, using a Mercury style engine end connection. It exceeds engine manufacturer specifications and is built around SeaStar's patented XTREME splined core, which uses ridges on the core to keep a close fit with the cable's inner liner for smooth, low-lost-motion movement at the helm.

The cable is protected by a 0.34 inch Super Tough HDPE jacket that resists abrasion and stands up to UV exposure, salt water, chemicals, gasoline, and oil, and it uses 0.033 inch oil-tempered lay wires for strength and consistent performance. Stainless steel terminals and brass fittings add corrosion protection, and the long-wearing HDPE liner is lubricated for life at the factory. The XTREME design gives this cable a 4 inch minimum bend radius versus an 8 inch minimum bend radius on standard control cables, making it well suited to complex or long cable runs, tight engine compartments, and applications where a superior feel at the controls matters.

This control cable assembly is made in the U.S.A. And uses the existing connection components at both the control and engine ends, so no additional hardware is required for installation as a direct replacement.
