The SEASTAR CC179 MERCURY/MARINER 600A CONTROL CABLE 18FT is designed to deliver smooth, precise throttle and shift performance for Mercury®, Mariner®, MerCruiser®, and compatible Force® engines fitted with Generation I (600A) Mercury control systems. As a direct replacement, this 18-foot control cable restores accurate engine response while reducing friction for lighter, more responsive control.
Whether you’re replacing a worn cable or upgrading your boat’s control system, this SeaStar control cable provides dependable performance for recreational and commercial boating. Its premium construction ensures smooth throttle input and positive gear engagement, helping you enjoy reliable control every time you head out on the water.
Engineered for Long-Lasting Performance
Longer cable runs require a control cable that maintains smooth operation without increasing resistance. Therefore, the SEASTAR CC179 MERCURY/MARINER 600A CONTROL CABLE 18FT features a stainless steel Lubri-Coreâ„¢ wire that reduces internal friction for smoother throttle and shift movements.
In addition, the heavy-duty black UV-resistant polyethylene outer jacket protects the cable against abrasion, saltwater, fuel, oil, chemicals, and harsh weather conditions. Stainless steel, brass, and moulded plastic fittings further improve corrosion resistance and long-term durability. As a result, this cable delivers consistent, maintenance-free performance season after season.
Direct Replacement for Mercury 600A Control Systems
The SEASTAR CC179 MERCURY/MARINER 600A CONTROL CABLE 18FT fits Mercury® and MerCruiser® engines manufactured from 1965 onwards using Generation I (600A) controls. It also suits compatible Force® engines from 1993 onwards and Mariner® engines using Mercury controls, excluding pre-1993 40HP and below models.
Furthermore, this cable installs using the existing connection components, making replacement straightforward while meeting or exceeding OEM specifications. The 18-foot length is ideal for boats requiring extended cable runs without compromising smooth, accurate engine control.
