SeaStar SSC6213 Quick Connect Rotary Steering Cable, 13 Feet, Single-Station Boats

The SeaStar SSC6213 is a 13-foot Quick Connect rotary steering cable built for single-station boat steering systems. It uses a simple rotary Quick Connect (QC) snap-in connection that makes installation fast and straightforward, with a trapped nut on the cable end that stays in place during routing. The cable is engineered with a tightly controlled core-to-conduit fit for precise, consistent steering feel, and its stainless steel cable output end resists corrosion for long-term reliability and durability.

The outer jacket is constructed from HDPE (high density polyethylene), a material chosen for its abrasion resistance and high resistance to water penetration in marine environments. This steering cable is designed for single station use only and is recommended as a replacement for the original steering system as installed by the boat manufacturer. It is compatible with a wide range of SeaStar helms, including standard rotary helms and older Safe-T and Big-T style helms when paired with the appropriate adapter. The cable meets or exceeds ABYC safety standards and ISO, IMCI, and NMMA certification requirements, and it is made, designed, and assembled in the USA.
