SeaStar SH5210P NFB Rack Back Mount Helm for Single or Dual Cable Rack Steering Systems
The SeaStar SH5210P is a back mount helm built for rack steering systems, including the HPS Rack, and is designed to install as a complete unit from behind the dash rather than through the dash face. It uses SeaStar's No FeedBack (NFB) feature, which is engineered into the NFB Rack and NFB Pro Rack helm line to keep steering feel consistent at the wheel. The helm's rack housing is secured to the helm with four bolts and nuts, giving a solid mechanical connection between helm and cable rack.
This helm is compatible with both single-cable and dual-cable rack steering applications: a dual-cable setup uses one rack housing with two cables attached, and the same single helm design works across both configurations. Installation requires a 2 1/4 inch mounting hole in the dash. Because this is a current-generation rack helm, it requires current-generation rack cables and will not bolt up to older-style rack cables, so cable generation should be confirmed before installation. One bezel is offered with this helm, and the mounting angle to the dash can be adjusted by adding wedges behind the bezel. The related HPS Rack is sold as components only, and the SH5210P can be paired with the SS141XX single-cable rack kit. Installation should be carried out by a licensed or knowledgeable marine professional.
