SeaStar SS13220 NFB Safe-T II Rotary Steering Kit, 20 Foot Cable, No Feedback Boat Steering System

The SeaStar SS13220 is a complete No FeedBack (NFB) Safe-T II rotary steering kit built around a 20 foot cable, designed to eliminate engine flutter and steering wheel kickback that can occur with standard steering systems. The patented No FeedBack steering mechanism isolates the helm from vibration and torque feedback transmitted through the outboard or sterndrive, giving the operator a smoother, more predictable wheel feel. Response is quick, with only three turns lock-to-lock, and clutch free play is kept to a minimum for tight, direct control at the helm.

Because it uses the Safe-T II mounting configuration, the SS13220 installs without dash modifications, making it a straightforward upgrade path for boats already set up for standard Safe-T steering. The kit is supplied as a complete system rather than a cable alone: it includes the NFB Safe-T II helm, the quick-connect (QC) steering cable, a 90 degree rotary NFB bezel, and the mounting hardware needed to complete the installation. The helm and bezel are finished in black alloy steel construction, and the cable terminates in stainless steel output ends for corrosion resistance at the connection points. This configuration is intended for single cable steering only and accommodates steering wheels up to 16 inches in diameter.
