SeaStar NFB Safe-T II Rotary Steering Kit, 17 Foot Cable, SS13217

The SeaStar SS13217 is a complete NFB (No FeedBack) Safe-T II rotary steering kit built around SeaStar's patented No FeedBack steering mechanism, which is designed to reduce engine flutter and steering instability at the helm. The kit delivers a quick response of three turns lock-to-lock and is engineered with minimal clutch free play for a tight, predictable feel at the wheel. It is designed to replace nearly all standard Safe-T steering setups without requiring any dash modifications, making it a practical upgrade or replacement for boats already running a standard Safe-T system. The kit includes a full steering system: the NFB Safe-T II helm, a quick-connect (QC) steering cable, a rotary NFB bezel with a 90 degree mounting orientation, and the hardware needed for installation. The cable output ends are stainless steel for durability in the marine environment. This is a single-cable configuration kit and accepts steering wheels up to 16 inches in diameter, with the cable itself measuring 17 feet. The steering wheel is not included. Built with an alloy steel construction and finished in black, this kit is intended for boat steering applications where a reliable, no-feedback rotary steering feel is wanted.
