SeaStar Safe-T QC Quick Connect Rotary Steering Kit SS13709, 9-Foot Cable, Single Station

The SeaStar SS13709 is a Safe-T QC (Quick Connect) rotary steering kit built for single-station mechanical steering on sterndrives, inboards, and other power-assisted boats. It delivers a quick-response 3 turns lock-to-lock feel and is designed for power-steered boats where No Feedback steering is not required. The Safe-T QC system uses a patented, no-tools-required cable connection at the helm, so the cable snaps into place instead of requiring threaded hardware, making installation fast and straightforward.

The kit includes the cable, helm, a 90 degree bezel, and mounting hardware, and is designed to replace SeaStar Solutions Safe-T helms made since 1968 with little or no dash modification. It accepts steering wheels up to 16 inches in diameter on a standard 3/4 inch round tapered steering shaft, and the cable terminates in stainless steel output ends. The SS13709 kit meets A.B.Y.C. Standards and N.M.M.A. Certification requirements. This is a single-station kit; components for dual-cable systems are available separately, though SeaStar recommends No-Feedback steering for dual-cable, non-power-assisted outboard and sterndrive installations.
