The NFB mechanism locks out steering loads at the helm, so the wheel stays smooth and easy to turn even when the drive is pushing hard against it. This kit uses a single steering cable with a comfort rating of 4.2 turns from lock to lock, giving the helmsman a responsive but not twitchy feel at the wheel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe helm has a cast finish and incorporates the No FeedBack feature directly in its construction. A collet and hitch pin secure the quick-connect (QC) cable to the helm for a solid, serviceable connection, and a single bolt holds the spent travel tube in place. The system terminates in stainless steel cable output ends and mates to a standard 3\/4 inch tapered steering shaft, matching common helm and dash setups. The kit includes the bezel, the helm with its 3\/4 inch tapered shaft, and the cable assembly with stainless steel output ends, and it is built to meet NMMA and ABYC marine steering standards.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis SS14718 kit is sized for the 18 foot cable length and is recommended for boats up to 24 feet in length with steering wheels up to 16 inches in diameter. It is intended for single-station, mechanical (non-power-assisted) applications and is not designed for dual station, power-assisted, or autopilot setups.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e SeaStar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e SS14718\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e No FeedBack Rotary Steering Kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCable Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18 feet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCable Configuration:\u003c\/strong\u003e Single Cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTurns Lock to Lock:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4.2 turns\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSteering Shaft:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3\/4 inch tapered\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCable Output Ends Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelm Finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cast finish with No FeedBack feature\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended Boat Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e Up to 24 feet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended Wheel Diameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e Up to 16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 17.98 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards Compliance:\u003c\/strong\u003e NMMA and ABYC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty:\u003c\/strong\u003e Two-year warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded Components:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bezel, helm with 3\/4 inch tapered shaft, cable with stainless steel output ends\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOEM Equivalent Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e TELSS14718\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRecommended for boats up to 24 feet in length with steering wheels up to 16 inches in diameter, using a 3\/4 inch tapered steering shaft.
