SeaStar SS13716 Safe-T QC Steering Kit, Quick Connect, 16 Foot Cable, Single Station

The SeaStar SS13716 is a Safe-T QC mechanical steering kit built for single-station use on sterndrives, inboards, and other power-assisted boats that do not require a No Feedback (NFB) steering system. The kit uses the quick-response, three-turn lock-to-lock Safe-T QC helm paired with a SeaStar Solutions Quick Connect (QC) steering cable, letting the cable snap into the helm at installation with no tools required. The helm accepts wheels up to 16 inches in diameter on a standard 3/4 inch round tapered steering shaft, and the cable output ends are stainless steel for corrosion resistance and long service life.

Everything needed for a single-cable installation is included: the cable, the helm, a 90 degree bezel, and the mounting hardware. The Safe-T QC helm is designed to replace SeaStar Solutions Safe-T helms made since 1968 with little or no dash modification, though it requires use of an SSC62 QC or SSC61 QC II steering cable to complete the quick-connect system. The kit meets A.B.Y.C. Standards and N.M.M.A. Certification requirements, making it a straightforward, code-compliant upgrade or replacement for boats running traditional mechanical steering.
