SeaStar SS13722 Safe-T QC Quick Connect Steering Cable Kit, Single Cable
The SeaStar SS13722 is a Safe-T QC (Quick Connect) single cable steering kit, part of the SS137XX kit family. The Quick Connect system uses a collet and hitch pin to secure the steering cable to the helm, and a conical plastic nut holds the spent travel tube in place, giving a clean, tool-friendly connection at the helm end. Because both the older threaded-style helm and the newer quick-connect style helm use the same cable, this kit is compatible with either helm design, provided the correct quick-connect spent travel tube is used with the older threaded helm style. This makes the SS13722 a straightforward upgrade or replacement option for boats currently running a Safe-T style helm, without requiring a full helm swap. The kit is sold under the SeaStar name in the Steering Cables & Kits category and is built for direct-connect rotary steering setups where a single cable runs from the helm to the outboard or sterndrive steering arm. At 17.54 pounds, it reflects the weight of a complete cable and connection hardware kit rather than a lightweight component-only package.
