The patented NFB helm delivers the precise feel of four turns from lock to lock, giving the operator consistent, predictable steering response without the kickback felt through the wheel on some rotary systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis kit uses SeaStar's Back Mount design, which lets the helm and cable be installed as a single unit from behind the dash. That means the wheel-side steering wheel shaft, helm, and cable all install together without requiring any dash modification, cutting installation time compared to older rack steering designs. The helm accepts steering wheels up to 16 inches in diameter and uses a standard 3\/4 inch round tapered steering wheel shaft, a common fitment for aftermarket and factory marine steering wheels. The cable terminates in stainless steel output ends for corrosion resistance at the engine or outboard connection point.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause the Back Mount NFB rack installs as a unit, the SS15112 is intended to replace earlier back mount rack steering systems on applicable single-station boats without additional dash work. It is sold as a complete steering kit rather than individual components, so the helm, cable, and mounting hardware needed for a single-station installation are included together.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e SeaStar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e SS15112\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Description:\u003c\/strong\u003e Steering Kit, Back Mount Rack NFB, Single, 12 Foot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSteering Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e No FeedBack (NFB) Rack and Pinion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCable Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12 feet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTurns Lock to Lock:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4 turns\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSteering Wheel Shaft:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3\/4 inch round, tapered\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Steering Wheel Diameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCable Output Ends:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stainless steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Back mount, U-bolt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Stations:\u003c\/strong\u003e Single\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Metal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20 x 32 x 6 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 14.86 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 731957092137\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSuitable for single-station boats powered by a single nonpower-assisted outboard engine up to V-6, or by a sterndrive, with minimal engine flutter or steering instability.
