As part of the Xtreme Rack Cable lineup, it connects the helm to the outboard or sterndrive steering system, transmitting steering input through a sealed rack housing designed to resist the corrosion and wear common in marine environments. This cable is sized specifically at 21 feet, making correct length selection important when ordering a replacement for your existing steering run. Boat owners and marine technicians use this cable to replace a worn, stiff, or leaking rack cable and restore smooth, predictable steering feel at the helm. The unit ships as a single exterior cable assembly ready to be installed into a compatible rack and pinion steering system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dometic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e SSCX15421\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Xtreme Rack Cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCable Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 21 feet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 26.8 x 19.8 x 3.4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 11.23 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExterior:\u003c\/strong\u003e One\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCategory:\u003c\/strong\u003e Steering Cables and Kits\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 808282377649\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long is the Dometic SSCX15421 rack cable?\u003c\/strong\u003e The SSCX15421 Xtreme Rack Cable measures 21 feet in length, so it is designed to replace a steering cable of that same run length.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the dimensions of this cable as packaged?\u003c\/strong\u003e Packaged, the Dometic Xtreme Rack Cable SSCX15421 measures 26.8 x 19.8 x 3.4 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the SSCX15421 weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e This Dometic Xtreme Rack Cable weighs 11.23 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this a genuine Dometic part or an aftermarket copy?\u003c\/strong\u003e SSCX15421 is a genuine Dometic Xtreme Rack Cable, not a generic aftermarket substitute.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes this cable fit any rack and pinion steering system?\u003c\/strong\u003e Correct fit depends on matching cable length and the specific rack and pinion steering system on your boat; confirm your existing cable is also 21 feet before ordering the SSCX15421.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is included when I order this part?\u003c\/strong\u003e The order includes one Dometic Xtreme Rack Cable, SSCX15421, as a single exterior cable assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy would I replace my current rack cable with this one?\u003c\/strong\u003e A rack cable is typically replaced when steering feels stiff, sticky, or has developed play or leaks; the SSCX15421 restores smooth helm response at the original 21 foot length.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I install the SSCX15421 myself?\u003c\/strong\u003e Installation involves disconnecting the worn cable from the rack and pinion unit and outboard\/sterndrive steering arm and fitting the new 21 foot Dometic cable in its place; boaters comfortable with basic steering system work can typically handle this themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the SSCX15421 the same as other Dometic rack cable lengths?\u003c\/strong\u003e No, Dometic offers the Xtreme Rack Cable in multiple lengths, and SSCX15421 is specifically the 21 foot version, so length must match your application.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat category of steering component is this?\u003c\/strong\u003e The SSCX15421 is a steering cable within the rack and pinion steering cables and kits category, used to transmit helm input to the boat's steering arm.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SeaStar","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48989384769755,"sku":"TEL-SSCX15421","price":239.57,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/519qKFnoxXL_d4278583-348b-4f5f-9af7-5e740a3de8b4.jpg?v=1784478780","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/dometic-seastar-sscx15421-21-ft-xtreme-rack-steering-cable-for-marine-rack-and-pinion-steering","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
