SEASTAR CC179 MERCURY/MARINER 600A CONTROL CABLE 17FT

The SEASTAR CC179 MERCURY/MARINER 600A CONTROL CABLE 17FT is engineered to provide smooth, precise throttle and shift performance for Mercury®, Mariner®, MerCruiser®, and compatible Force® engines using Generation I (600A) Mercury control systems. Designed as a direct replacement, this 17-foot control cable delivers accurate engine response while reducing friction for lighter, more responsive control.

Whether you’re replacing an ageing control cable or upgrading your boat’s control system, this SeaStar cable offers reliable performance for both recreational and commercial vessels. Its advanced XTREME™ technology ensures consistent throttle input and positive gear engagement from the helm to the engine.

Engineered for Long-Lasting Performance

The SEASTAR CC179 MERCURY/MARINER 600A CONTROL CABLE 17FT features XTREME™ technology with a unique splined, coated core that minimises friction and reduces lost motion. Consequently, throttle and gear changes feel smoother while requiring less effort at the controls.

In addition, the super-tough HDPE outer jacket resists abrasion, UV exposure, saltwater, fuel, oil, and chemicals. Stainless steel terminals and brass fittings provide excellent corrosion resistance, while the permanently lubricated HDPE liner delivers maintenance-free operation. As a result, this cable performs exceptionally well in demanding marine environments and is ideal for longer or more complex cable runs.

Direct Replacement for Mercury 600A Systems

The SEASTAR CC179 MERCURY/MARINER 600A CONTROL CABLE 17FT fits Mercury® and MerCruiser® engines manufactured from 1965 onwards using Generation I (600A) controls. It also suits Mariner® engines fitted with Mercury controls (excluding pre-1993 40HP and below models) and compatible Force® engines from 1993 onwards.

Furthermore, this cable installs using the existing connection components, making replacement straightforward while meeting or exceeding OEM, ABYC, ISO/IMCI, and NMMA standards. Whether you’re completing scheduled maintenance or a full repower, this cable delivers dependable performance every time you head out on the water.
