SeaStar SS14117 Back Mount Rack Steering Kit, Single Cable, 17 Feet

The SeaStar SS14117 is a back mount rack steering kit built for boats that use a mechanical rack and pinion steering system. The kit uses a single 17-foot steering cable and is designed to deliver precise, easy steering with four turns lock-to-lock. It includes everything needed for a complete steering setup: the cable, helm, a 90 degree bezel, and mounting hardware, so there is no need to source additional parts separately.

The helm connects to a standard 3/4 inch round tapered steering shaft, and the kit mounts using a U-bolt mounting type. The cable output ends are stainless steel for durability and corrosion resistance in a marine environment, and the helm housing is finished in white. The overall construction is metal, and the kit measures 26.75 x 20 x 3.25 inches with a product weight of 13.31 pounds.

This is a back mount rack steering system, meaning the rack housing mounts behind the helm rather than through a front-mount configuration. It is suited to boats already set up for mechanical rack and pinion steering that need a replacement or upgrade single-cable kit at the 17-foot cable length.
