SeaStar / Teleflex Xtreme™ Control Cable – CCX179 Series (Mercury 1993+)

The SeaStar Teleflex Xtreme Control Cable CCX179 Series is a premium marine throttle and shift control cable specifically engineered for Mercury® and MerCruiser® Gen II control systems (1993 and newer). Part of the advanced Xtreme™ series, the CCX179 cables are designed to deliver exceptionally smooth, precise control with reduced friction, minimal backlash, and enhanced flexibility, even in demanding marine environments.

Built with a lubricated low-friction core and rugged outer jacket, the CCX179 series is optimized for tight bends, long cable runs, and complex routing, reducing control effort while improving throttle and shift responsiveness at the helm.
