Dometic Xtreme Rack Cable SSCX15408, 8 Foot Rack and Pinion Steering Cable

The Dometic Xtreme Rack Cable SSCX15408 is an 8 foot steering cable built for rack and pinion boat steering systems. It connects the helm to the rack and pinion steering assembly, transmitting the driver's steering input to the outboard or sterndrive so the boat responds accurately at the wheel. The cable is designed as a direct-fit replacement component for rack and pinion setups, making it a straightforward option when an existing steering cable has worn out or needs to be replaced as part of a steering system service.

This cable ships in a single exterior unit and is sized specifically at 8 feet, so it is intended for installations where that cable length matches the routing distance between the helm and the steering rack. Because rack and pinion steering cables must be ordered to the correct length for proper operation, confirming the 8 foot measurement against your boat's steering run is an important step before installation.
