SeaStar SS15113 NFB Rack Steering Kit, Back Mount Single Cable, 13 Feet

The SeaStar SS15113 is a back-mount NFB (No Feedback) rack and pinion steering kit built for single-station boats running a single, non-power-assisted outboard engine up to a V-6. The rack design delivers a precise, direct feel with 4 turns lock-to-lock, giving the helmsman consistent response with minimal engine flutter or steering instability compared to rotary steering systems. The kit accepts a standard 3/4 inch round tapered steering wheel shaft and is rated for wheels up to 16 inches in diameter, covering the great majority of helm setups on boats in this power range.

Everything needed for a complete single-cable installation is included in one box: the back-mount rack, the 13-foot steering cable, the helm unit, a 90 degree bezel, and the mounting hardware. Because NFB steering relies on mechanical rack and pinion action rather than a feedback rotary case, it is intended strictly for manually steered outboard applications; it is not designed for use with power-assisted engines. The housing components are built in durable plastic for corrosion resistance in the marine environment.
