It replaces 600A-type Mercury cables and uses 10\/32 threaded ends.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3 style=\"margin-top: 5px; margin-bottom: 0; font-size: 12pt;\"\u003eCan I use this cable with Mercury 4000-series or Gen II controls?\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eNo. The CCX179 cannot be used with 4000-series controls. If your boat has a Mercury Gen II control system (typically 2003 and newer), you need the CCX189 Gen II cable instead. Using the wrong cable type will result in improper fitment and unreliable throttle or shift operation. If you're unsure which control you have, check the model designation on the control head or contact us at 877-388-2628.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3 style=\"margin-top: 5px; margin-bottom: 0; font-size: 12pt;\"\u003eIs this a Teleflex, SeaStar, or Dometic product?\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eAll three names refer to the same product lineage. Teleflex Marine developed the CCX179, then became SeaStar Solutions, which was subsequently acquired by Dometic Group. The cable is currently branded as a SeaStar\/Dometic product but is fully compatible with all legacy Teleflex 600A-series Mercury installations. The brand change has no effect on fit or function.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3 style=\"margin-top: 5px; margin-bottom: 0; font-size: 12pt;\"\u003eHow do I determine the correct cable length?\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eFor a new outboard installation, measure from the control head attachment point along the unobstructed routing path to the center of the outboard motor, then add 4 feet to allow for the loop that provides unrestricted engine movement. Round up to the next foot. For sterndrive applications, measure from the control to the shift and\/or throttle connection and round up to the next foot, no loop allowance is needed. For replacing an existing cable, check the length stamped on the jacket of the old cable. Cables are available from 6 to 60 feet.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3 style=\"margin-top: 5px; margin-bottom: 0; font-size: 12pt;\"\u003eWhy choose the Xtreme version over the standard CC179 cable?\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Xtreme CCX179 uses a patent-pending splined core that fits closely within the cable liner, minimizing lost motion (the slack between helm input and engine response). This is noticeable on long cable runs, dual-station setups, or installations with multiple bends. The standard CC179 is only available in 10–24 ft lengths; the Xtreme version extends the range to 6–60 ft, making it the only option for longer or more complex routings. No adapter kits are required.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3 style=\"margin-top: 5px; margin-bottom: 0; font-size: 12pt;\"\u003eWhat is the minimum bend radius, and why does it matter for installation?\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe CCX179 Xtreme has a 4-inch minimum bend radius. Routing the cable tighter than this during installation causes friction, stiffness, and accelerated wear. The 4-inch rating gives more flexibility than older-style cables with larger minimums, making it easier to navigate tight routing paths through a boat's helm area.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c!-- snippet location product_description --\u003e \u003cp\u003e California Residents: \u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn11.bigcommerce.com\/s-6rtev5owwo\/stencil\/4c731d90-821b-013f-159c-7692448c53ea\/e\/5184b8b0-7ec1-013f-1cb3-16eaae88d95a\/img\/warning.png\" alt=\"warning sign\" class=\"warningImg\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e WARNING \u003c\/strong\u003e Cancer and Reproductive Harm - \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.p65warnings.ca.gov\/\" class=\"productWarning\"\u003eP65Warnings.ca.gov\u003c\/a\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Teleflex Marine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67606377300283,"sku":"TEL-CCX17915","price":84.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0907\/4271\/8779\/files\/SeaStar-Mercury--MerCruiser-1965-to-the-Present-Xtreme-CCX179-Control-Cables-600A-Series-by-Dometic__31449.1737899942_510e332f-1b88-42f7-b86c-cea24229b73f.jpg?v=1790720187","url":"https:\/\/clinchriverfishingusa.com\/products\/teleflex-marine-control-cable-assy-merc-tfxtreme-15-tel-ccx17915","provider":"Clinch River Fishing USA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
