SeaStar Safe-T QC Single Cable Steering Kit, Quick Connect 23, SS13723
The SeaStar SS13723 is a Safe-T QC (Quick Connect) single cable steering kit, part of the SS137XX Safe-T QC kit family. This system uses a quick connect design at the helm: a collet and hitch pin secure the QC cable to the helm, replacing the older thread-on style connection found on the original Safe-T TS helm system. A conical plastic nut holds the spent travel tube in place at the engine end of the cable.
This quick connect spent travel tube design shares the same cable as the older, threaded-style Safe-T TS system, so the underlying cable technology is proven while the connection hardware has been updated for a faster, tool-light installation and service experience at the helm. The kit is cataloged under Steering Cables & Kits and is identified by the model designation Quick Connect 23 within the SS137XX product line.
