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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e SeaStar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e CCX20517\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCable Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 17 feet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEngine Compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mercury (1965-date) and Force (1993-date) engines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eControl Compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aftermarket controls accepting 10-32 threaded ends\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEngine End Connection:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mercury style\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.13 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 17 x 1.5 x 17 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Bend Radius:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eJacket Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eJacket Thickness:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.34 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCore Wire:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.033 inch oil-tempered lay wires\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTerminals:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stainless steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFittings:\u003c\/strong\u003e Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCore Technology:\u003c\/strong\u003e XTREME splined, coated core\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stainless steel, brass, and HDPE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of Origin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Made in USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 808282273033\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty:\u003c\/strong\u003e Two-year recreational user limited warranty against manufacturing defects\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMercury engines (1965-date) using aftermarket controls with 10-32 threaded ends\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForce engines (1993-date) using aftermarket controls with 10-32 threaded ends\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMercury style engine end connection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat engines does the SeaStar CCX20517 control cable fit?\u003c\/strong\u003e The CCX20517 is built for Mercury engines (1965-date) and Force engines (1993-date) that use aftermarket controls accepting 10-32 threaded ends, with a Mercury style engine end connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long is this control cable?\u003c\/strong\u003e SeaStar CCX20517 is a 17-foot control cable, sized for a 17-foot cable run between the control head and the engine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the CCX20517 a genuine SeaStar part or an aftermarket copy?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is a genuine SeaStar Xtreme control cable, part number CCX20517, engineered as a drop-in replacement using the existing connection components at both ends.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat makes the XTREME cable different from a standard control cable?\u003c\/strong\u003e The XTREME technology in the CCX20517 gives it a 4 inch minimum bend radius, compared to an 8 inch minimum bend radius on standard control cables, so it handles tighter routing and complex or long cable runs with a smoother feel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the outer jacket made of?\u003c\/strong\u003e The CCX20517 uses a 0.34 inch Super Tough HDPE (high-density polyethylene) jacket that resists abrasion and withstands UV exposure, salt water, chemicals, gasoline, and oil.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes this cable need to be lubricated after installation?\u003c\/strong\u003e No. The CCX20517 is lifetime lubricated at the factory, with a long-wearing HDPE liner that is ultra smooth and lubed for life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the CCX20517 control cable weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The SeaStar CCX20517 weighs 1.13 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the terminals and fittings made of?\u003c\/strong\u003e CCX20517 uses stainless steel terminals and brass fittings for added corrosion protection, along with 0.033 inch oil-tempered lay wires for strength.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I use my existing control head hardware with this cable?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes.
