SeaStar NFB Safe-T II Rotary Steering Kit SS13216, 16 Foot Single Cable, Fits Wheels up to 16 Inch Diameter

The SeaStar SS13216 is a complete NFB (No FeedBack) Safe-T II rotary steering kit built around SeaStar's patented No FeedBack steering mechanism, which eliminates the engine kickback and wheel flutter that standard rotary steering can transmit back to the helm. This kit ships as a single-cable configuration with a 16 foot steering cable, a matching helm, a 90 degree rotary NFB bezel, and the hardware needed to complete the installation, so it drops in as a full system rather than a component you have to source separately. It delivers a quick, responsive 3 turns lock-to-lock and minimal clutch free play, giving the helm a tight, precise feel at the wheel. The helm and bezel are finished in black and built from alloy steel for durability in a marine environment. Because the NFB mechanism handles feedback internally, this kit accepts steering wheels up to 16 inches in diameter without requiring dash modifications, which is often needed when upgrading a standard Safe-T steering setup to a larger wheel. It is designed as a direct fit for boats already running SeaStar/Teleflex Safe-T style rotary steering, giving owners an upgrade path to No FeedBack performance using their existing steering layout.
