SeaStar Safe-T QC Quick Connect Rotary Steering Kit SS13717, 17 Foot Single Station Cable

The SeaStar SS13717 is a Safe-T QC (Quick Connect) rotary steering kit built for single-station mechanical steering on sterndrive, inboard, and other power-assisted boats. This kit is the traditional mechanical steering solution for applications where a No Feedback power steering system is not required, delivering a quick response of 3 turns lock-to-lock. The kit includes the steering cable, helm, a 90 degree bezel, and all mounting hardware needed for installation.

Installation is simplified with a patented, no-tools-required snap-in cable connection at the helm, using SeaStar's Quick Connect (QC) cable design along with industry-standard Safe-T mounting hardware. The Safe-T QC helm is designed to replace all SeaStar Solutions Safe-T helms made since 1968 with little or no dash modification required. Operation requires an SSC62 QC or SSC61 QC II steering cable. The helm accepts steering wheels up to 16 inches in diameter and mounts on a standard 3/4 inch round tapered steering shaft. Cable output ends are stainless steel for corrosion resistance in the marine environment. The SS13717 is the 17 foot cable-length version of this kit and is intended for single-station use only.

This steering kit meets American Boat and Yacht Council (ABYC) standards and National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA) certification requirements.
