SeaStar SS15213 NFB Pro Rack Steering Kit, Dual Cable, 13 Feet, Back Mount
The SeaStar SS15213 is a complete NFB (No FeedBack) Pro Rack steering kit built for boaters who want precise, stable helm control with minimal cable lost motion. The patented No FeedBack steering mechanism uses dual cables working together to reduce play in the system, giving a consistent four-turns lock-to-lock feel whether you are idling out of the slip or running wide open. The rack helm uses a back mount design that allows fast, easy placement in the dash, and the mounting hardware fits industry-standard SeaStar Solutions rack holes, so installation goes quickly without custom fitting. A standard 3/4 inch round tapered steering shaft accepts a compatible steering wheel, and the cable output ends are stainless steel for corrosion resistance in a marine environment. Minimal clutch free play keeps the helm feeling tight over time rather than developing sloppy steering response as the system wears in. The kit includes two 13 foot cables, the NFB rack helm, a 90 degree bezel, and all mounting hardware needed for installation, so there is no need to source cables or a bezel separately. This is a universal fit kit designed for boats using a back mount dual-cable rack steering system rather than a specific engine or drive application.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does NFB mean on the SS15213 steering kit? NFB stands for No FeedBack, a patented steering mechanism used in the SeaStar SS15213 that minimizes lost motion in the cable system for a more precise, stable helm feel.
How many turns lock-to-lock does this kit have? The SS15213 gives a precise feel of four turns from lock-to-lock.
Is this a single-cable or dual-cable steering kit? SS15213 is a dual-cable kit; the two cables work together to minimize lost motion and add stability compared to a single-cable setup.
What length are the steering cables? The kit includes two 13 foot cables, matching the 13 foot designation in the SS15213 part number.
What is included in the box with the SS15213? The kit includes two 13 foot cables, the NFB rack helm, a 90 degree bezel, and the mounting hardware needed for installation.
What size steering wheel shaft does this kit use? A standard 3/4 inch round tapered steering shaft is used on the SS15213 NFB rack helm, compatible with standard tapered marine steering wheels.
Is the SS15213 a back mount or front mount helm? It uses a back mount design that allows quick placement behind the dash, and the mounting hardware fits industry-standard SeaStar Solutions rack holes.
What is the cable output end material on this kit? The cable output ends on the SS15213 are stainless steel, which resists corrosion in a marine environment.
Does this steering kit fit a specific boat make or engine? The SS15213 is a universal fit kit designed for boats using a back mount, dual-cable NFB rack steering system rather than one specific make, model, or engine.
