SeaStar SS14108 Back Mount Rack Steering System, 8-Foot Cable

The SeaStar SS14108 is a back mount rack steering system built around an 8-foot rotary steering cable with a quick connect adaptor, designed to install from behind the dash. The rack-style steering gear uses a long tubular metal housing rather than a diecast helm case, giving four turns lock-to-lock for precise, comfortable control at the helm. This system is suitable for virtually all power-assisted sterndrive and inboard boats running steering wheels up to 16 inches in diameter, making it a common upgrade or replacement for boats already fitted with power-assisted steering.

The quick connect adaptor on the cable end simplifies hookup at the helm during installation, reducing the time needed to swap out a worn or failing cable. The kit ships as a complete cable assembly finished in blue, built from metal construction for durability in a marine environment.
