Smooth and Responsive Operation
A high-quality control cable makes every trip safer and more enjoyable. The SEASTAR CC170 features a premium low-friction inner core that reduces resistance and delivers smooth throttle movement with positive gear engagement. As a result, you benefit from responsive handling during acceleration, cruising, and docking.
Additionally, the cable’s robust construction helps minimise stretch over time, ensuring consistent throttle and shift performance throughout its service life.

Designed for demanding marine environments, this control cable uses corrosion-resistant materials that stand up to both saltwater and freshwater conditions. The heavy-duty outer jacket protects against UV exposure, moisture, abrasion, and everyday wear, helping maximise the cable’s lifespan.
Furthermore, its flexible construction makes routing through tight rigging spaces simple while maintaining smooth cable movement and reliable operation.
