It is designed as a direct upgrade path for Safe-T helms made since 1968, fitting with little or no dash modification. The kit uses SeaStar's patented Quick Connect cable system, which snaps into the helm without tools, replacing the older threaded-nut style of installation that required a wrench to secure the cable at the helm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt the helm, a collet and hitch pin secure the Quick Connect cable, while a conical plastic nut retains the spent travel tube for a clean, finished installation. The system delivers a quick 3 turns lock-to-lock response and is fitted with stainless steel cable output ends for corrosion resistance. The helm accepts steering wheels up to 16 inches in diameter on a standard 3\/4 inch round tapered steering shaft, and the kit includes the cable, helm, a 90 degree bezel, and mounting hardware for a complete single-station installation. The SS13718 is the 18-foot cable length version of the SeaStar Safe-T QC line and meets ABYC standards and NMMA certification requirements.\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 SS13718\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Steering Kit, Quick Connect, 18 Feet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCable Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18 feet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 15.95 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Multicoloured\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 Compatibility:\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\u003eTurns Lock-to-Lock:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3 turns\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCable Output Ends:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stainless steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBezel:\u003c\/strong\u003e 90 degree bezel included\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\u003eCertifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e Meets ABYC standards and NMMA certification requirements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 731957023773\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSafe-T QC replaces Safe-T helms made since 1968 with little or no dash modification.
