SeaStar SS14716 NFB Rotary Steering Kit, Single Cable, 16 Feet

The SeaStar SS14716 is a No FeedBack (NFB) rotary steering kit built for boats that need reliable, feedback-free control at the helm. No FeedBack technology locks out the steering loads that otherwise transmit hard-to-handle kickback through the wheel, so steering stays light and predictable during maneuvers. This kit uses a single-cable configuration with a 16 foot cable, giving 4.2 turns from lock to lock for smooth, comfortable steering response. The kit is built around the cast-finish SH4910P helm, which includes the No FeedBack feature, and a single bolt holds the spent travel tube in place for easy access during maintenance. A standard 3/4 inch tapered steering shaft fits common steering wheel hubs, and the cable terminates in stainless steel output ends that resist corrosion in the marine environment. The complete kit includes a bezel, the helm with its tapered shaft, and the cable itself, so everything needed to install the steering system at the helm station is in the box. It is recommended for boats up to 24 feet with steering wheels up to 16 inches in diameter, and it meets NMMA and ABYC marine steering standards. No FeedBack steering is intended for single-station use without power assist; it is not designed for dual-station, power-assisted, or autopilot-equipped applications, and boats with top speeds faster than 50 mph should use a dual-cable or hydraulic steering system instead. The kit is backed by a two-year warranty.
