SeaStar Safe-T QC Quick Connect Rotary Steering Kit SS13714, 14-Foot Single Cable, Single Station

The SeaStar Safe-T QC (SS13714) is a 14-foot quick connect rotary steering kit built for single station mechanical steering on sterndrives, inboards, and other power-assisted boats. It is designed as a direct upgrade path for boats already running a SeaStar Solutions Safe-T helm, since the Safe-T QC helm bolts in with little or no dash modification wherever a Safe-T helm has been fitted since 1968. The kit uses SeaStar's Quick Connect (QC) cable system, which snaps into the helm with a simple, tool-free connection instead of the older thread-on style, cutting install time and eliminating the need for special tools at the helm end.

Steering response is a quick 3 turns lock-to-lock, and the helm accepts steering wheels up to 16 inches in diameter on a standard 3/4 inch round tapered steering shaft. The cable has stainless steel output ends for corrosion resistance where the cable meets the outboard or sterndrive steering arm. The kit is complete out of the box: it includes the 14-foot Quick Connect cable, the helm, a 90 degree bezel, and all mounting hardware needed for a single station installation. This is a single station, single cable kit; dual cable and No-Feedback steering setups are handled by separate SeaStar product lines. Steering assembly meets ABYC standards and NMMA certification requirements, making it suitable for both OEM replacement and refit installations on boats using conventional mechanical steering rather than power-assisted No-Feedback systems.
