SeaStar SS13721 Safe-T QC Quick Connect Steering Cable Kit, SS137XX Series

The SeaStar SS13721 is a quick connect (QC) style steering cable kit built for SeaStar Safe-T QC helm systems, part of the SS137XX kit series. This kit uses a collet and hitch pin arrangement to secure the QC cable directly to the helm, replacing the older thread-on nut connection method found on Safe-T TS helms. A conical plastic nut is included to hold the spent travel tube in place, and the kit's spent travel tube is the quick connect style rather than the older threaded design -- both styles use the same cable, so the connection hardware is what differs between the two systems.

This kit is intended for boat owners and installers upgrading or replacing steering cable components on a Safe-T QC helm, giving a secure, positive connection between the cable and helm without threading the nut on by hand. Because the QC and TS (old style) connection hardware are not interchangeable, confirm your helm uses the quick connect style before ordering.

Does the SS13721 fit old style Safe-T TS helms? No. The SS13721 is designed for the quick connect (QC) spent travel tube style; old style Safe-T TS helms use a threaded spent travel tube and a large thread-on nut instead of the collet and hitch pin connection.

Can the same cable be used with both the old style and quick connect spent travel tubes? Yes, both the old style threaded spent travel tube and the quick connect spent travel tube used in the SS13721 kit work with the same cable; only the tube and connection hardware differ.

What is a spent travel tube on a steering cable kit? On the SS13721, the spent travel tube is the quick connect style component that works with the collet and hitch pin connection at the helm, as opposed to the threaded tube used on old style Safe-T TS helms.

Is the SS13721 sold as a complete kit or individual components? The SS13721 is part of the SS137XX Safe-T QC Single Cable kit, which packages the QC connection hardware together, unlike the old style Safe-T TS system which is sold as separate components.
