It is the modern successor to the original Safe-T helm line, using a patented, no-tools-required Quick Connect (QC) cable attachment at the helm instead of the older thread-on nut design. A collet and hitch pin secure the QC cable to the helm, while a conical plastic nut holds the spent travel tube in place, allowing fast, straightforward installation or cable replacement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis kit is designed for boats that do not require No Feedback (NFB) power-assisted steering, delivering a responsive 3 turns lock-to-lock feel. The helm accepts steering wheels up to 16 inches in diameter on a standard 3\/4 inch round tapered steering shaft, and the cable features stainless steel output ends for corrosion resistance. The kit includes the cable, helm, a 90 degree bezel, and all mounting hardware needed for installation, and it meets ABYC standards and NMMA certification requirements. The Safe-T QC system is engineered to replace SeaStar Solutions Safe-T helms made since 1968 with little to no dash modification, and it requires use of an SSC62 QC or SSC61 QC II steering cable.\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 SS13708\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCable Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8 feet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSteering Response:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3 turns lock-to-lock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStation Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Single station\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSteering Wheel Capacity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Up to 16 inches diameter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSteering Shaft:\u003c\/strong\u003e Standard 3\/4 inch round tapered\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stainless steel cable output ends\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRequired Steering Cable:\u003c\/strong\u003e SSC62 QC or SSC61 QC II\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCertifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e Meets ABYC standards and NMMA certification requirements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded Components:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cable, helm, 90 degree bezel, mounting hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 13 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 731957026538\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eReplaces (OEM)\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTELSS13708\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is included in the SeaStar SS13708 steering kit?\u003c\/strong\u003e The SS13708 kit includes the quick connect steering cable, the helm unit, a 90 degree bezel, and all mounting hardware needed for installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long is the steering cable in the SS13708 kit?\u003c\/strong\u003e The SeaStar SS13708 kit uses an 8-foot Quick Connect (QC) steering cable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the SS13708 use a quick connect cable installation?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the SS13708 is a Safe-T QC helm that uses a patented, no-tools-required cable connection secured with a collet and hitch pin at the helm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat size steering wheel does the SS13708 helm accept?\u003c\/strong\u003e The SS13708 helm accepts steering wheels up to 16 inches in diameter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat steering shaft size does the SS13708 helm use?\u003c\/strong\u003e It uses a standard 3\/4 inch round tapered steering shaft.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow many turns lock-to-lock does the SS13708 provide?\u003c\/strong\u003e The SS13708 Safe-T QC steering kit delivers 3 turns lock-to-lock for a responsive steering feel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the SS13708 kit for single or dual station boats?\u003c\/strong\u003e The SS13708 is designed for single station use only.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat steering cable is compatible with the SS13708 helm?\u003c\/strong\u003e The SS13708 helm requires use of an SSC62 QC or SSC61 QC II steering cable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the SS13708 kit meet marine industry standards?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the SS13708 steering kit meets ABYC standards and NMMA certification requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat material are the cable output ends made of on the SS13708?\u003c\/strong\u003e The SS13708 steering cable has stainless steel output ends.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan the SS13708 replace an older SeaStar Safe-T helm?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the Safe-T QC design used in the SS13708 replaces SeaStar Solutions Safe-T helms made since 1968 with little or no dash modification.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the SS13708 steering kit weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The SeaStar SS13708 steering kit weighs 13 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SeaStar","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48989364060379,"sku":"TEL-SS13708","price":238.03,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/51Pq4AaVRPL.jpg?v=1784477705","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/seastar-safe-t-qc-quick-connect-rotary-steering-kit-ss13708-8-ft-fits-seastar-safe-t-helms-since-1968-single-station-wheels-to-16-in","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
