SeaStar Solutions SSC13423 23-Foot Backmount Rack Steering Cable, Single Cable

The SeaStar Solutions SSC13423 is a 23-foot backmount rack steering cable configured as a single cable, built for boats using a rack and pinion style steering system. This cable connects the helm to the steering rack and translates helm rotation into linear motion at the outboard or stern drive, giving the operator direct mechanical control of the boat's heading. As a backmount configuration, it is designed for installations where the steering system mounts behind the transom or console in the rack-style arrangement rather than a rotary or hydraulic setup.

This is a single-cable unit, meaning it is intended for a single steering station rather than a dual-station configuration. The 23-foot length determines the routing distance the cable can span between the helm and the steering rack, so it must be matched to the boat's actual helm-to-transom run. Because rack and pinion steering cables are built to a specific length and connection style for the system they serve, this cable is intended as a direct steering-cable replacement or new installation part within SeaStar Solutions backmount rack steering systems.
