Rack and pinion steering is identifiable by the long metal tubular rack housing that sits behind the dash, and this system delivers precise, easy steering feel at four turns lock-to-lock. The kit is packaged as a full replacement solution rather than a cable-only upgrade, including the cable, helm, a 90-degree bezel, and all mounting hardware needed for installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe helm uses a standard 3\/4 inch round tapered steering shaft, and the cable is finished with stainless steel output ends for corrosion resistance at the connection points. The system mounts using a U-bolt mounting type and is constructed of metal with a black finish. This back mount configuration is suited to boats already set up for a back-mounted (transom-mounted) rack steering cable rather than a front mount or hydraulic system.\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 SS14118\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Steering Kit, Back Mount Rack, Single, 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\u003eSteering Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rack and Pinion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTurns Lock-to-Lock:\u003c\/strong\u003e Four turns\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSteering Shaft:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3\/4 inch round tapered\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCable Output Ends:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stainless steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e U-Bolt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Metal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20 x 32 x 6 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 13.62 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 731957092052\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is included in the SeaStar SS14118 steering kit?\u003c\/strong\u003e The SS14118 kit includes the steering cable, helm, a 90-degree bezel, and the mounting hardware needed to complete a back mount rack steering installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long is the steering cable on the SS14118?\u003c\/strong\u003e The cable supplied with the SeaStar SS14118 back mount rack steering system measures 18 feet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow many turns lock-to-lock does this steering system have?\u003c\/strong\u003e Four turns lock-to-lock, giving precise, easy steering response on the SeaStar SS14118 rack steering system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the SS14118 a rack and pinion or rotary steering system?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is a rack and pinion system, identifiable by the long metal tubular rack housing that runs behind the dash, rather than a rotary system with a rounded diecast helm housing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat size steering shaft does the SS14118 helm use?\u003c\/strong\u003e The helm uses a standard 3\/4 inch round tapered steering shaft.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat material is the SS14118 steering cable output end made of?\u003c\/strong\u003e The cable output ends on the SeaStar SS14118 are stainless steel for corrosion resistance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow is the SeaStar SS14118 mounted?\u003c\/strong\u003e This system uses a U-Bolt mounting type for the back mount rack installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the dimensions and weight of the SS14118 kit?\u003c\/strong\u003e The SeaStar SS14118 measures 20 x 32 x 6 inches and weighs 13.62 pounds as packaged.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the SS14118 a single or dual cable system?\u003c\/strong\u003e The SS14118 is a single back mount rack steering system, not a dual-cable configuration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat color and material is the SS14118 helm and hardware?\u003c\/strong\u003e The SeaStar SS14118 is finished in black and constructed of metal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I identify my current steering system before ordering the SS14118?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes: rack and pinion steering (which the SS14118 uses) has a long metal tubular rack housing behind the dash, rotary steering has a rounded diecast helm case, and hydraulic steering has two or three hoses or tubing sections attached to the helm.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SeaStar","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48989373923547,"sku":"TEL-SS14118","price":234.11,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/81u701EOE8L_30ed80bc-e87e-4234-847a-8954bc2b3bb7.jpg?v=1784477936","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/seastar-solutions-ss14118-back-mount-rack-steering-system-18-ft-single-cable-kit-3-4-tapered-shaft","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
