SeaStar Solutions Spent Travel Tube SA35680P for Safe-T QC, Safe-T "TS" and Big-T Rotary Steering Helms
SeaStar Solutions Spent Travel Tube SA35680P for Safe-T QC, Safe-T "TS" and Big-T Rotary Steering Helms
The SeaStar Solutions Spent Travel Tube, part number SA35680P, is a replacement plastic tube used inside rotary steering helms to house the spent (used) portion of the steering cable as the wheel is turned. It is designed for helms that use plastic tubes with plastic nuts, and it is a drop-in replacement for the original tube supplied by SeaStar Solutions. This part is compatible with SeaStar Solutions Big-T, Safe-T "TS", and Safe-T Quick Connect (QC) rotary steering helm models. It is molded from corrosion resistant, marine-grade plastic in yellow, built to hold up in the wet, salt-exposed environment inside a boat's helm housing. Replacing a worn, cracked, or leaking travel tube restores proper cable travel and helm feel without needing to replace the entire steering helm assembly. The tube is lightweight and ships as a single component ready to install in place of the original spent travel tube.
