SeaStar Safe-T QC Quick Connect Rotary Steering Kit SS13712, 12-Foot Cable, Single Station (OEM Equivalent TELSS13712)

The SeaStar Safe-T QC Quick Connect Rotary Steering Kit, part number SS13712, is a complete single-station mechanical steering system built for sterndrive, inboard, and power-assisted boat applications where a No Feedback system is not required. It replaces older SeaStar Solutions Safe-T helms made since 1968 with little or no dash modification required, making it a straightforward upgrade or replacement for boats already fitted with a compatible Safe-T mounting configuration.

The kit centers on Safe-T QC's patented quick-connect cable design: the 12-foot Quick Connect (QC) steering cable snaps into the helm without tools, using a collet and hitch pin to secure the cable and a conical plastic nut to retain the spent travel tube. This is a faster, simpler installation than older thread-on style Safe-T helms. Steering response is a quick 3 turns lock-to-lock, with stainless steel cable output ends for durability. The kit includes the helm, a 90-degree bezel, and the mounting hardware needed for installation, and accepts steering wheels up to 16 inches in diameter on a standard 3/4-inch round tapered steering shaft.

This kit requires use of an SSC62 QC or SSC61 QC II Quick Connect steering cable and is intended for single-station use only. It meets ABYC standards and NMMA certification requirements for marine steering systems.
