SeaStar SS14715 No Feedback Rotary Steering Kit, Single Cable, 15 Feet

The SeaStar SS14715 is a No Feedback (NFB) rotary steering kit built around a single cable configuration with a 15 foot cable length. The NFB design locks out the steering loads that normally feed back through the wheel, so the helm stays comfortable and predictable to turn even under load, requiring a comfortable 4.2 turns from lock to lock. The kit pairs with a cast-finish helm carrying the No FeedBack feature and a standard 3/4 inch tapered steering shaft, and the cable terminates in stainless steel output ends for corrosion resistance at the outboard or sterndrive connection. A single bolt secures the spent travel tube, simplifying service and cable inspection.

This kit is intended for boats up to 24 feet with steering wheels up to 16 inches in diameter. It is built as a single-station system: it is not designed for dual station, power-assisted, or autopilot setups. For boats with top speeds faster than 50 mph, a dual cable or hydraulic steering system is the recommended choice instead of this single-cable NFB kit. The complete kit ships as one unit including the helm, bezel, and cable assembly, finished in blue.
