SeaStar SS15116 NFB Rack Steering Kit, Single Cable, 16 Feet, Fits Outboards up to V-6

The SeaStar SS15116 is a No Feedback (NFB) Rack single-cable steering kit built for single-station boats powered by a single, non-power-assisted outboard engine up to a V-6. The rack-and-pinion design delivers a precise feel of 4 turns from lock-to-lock, giving the helmsman consistent, predictable control with minimal engine flutter or steering instability at the wheel.

This kit includes a 16-foot steering cable, a helm unit, a 90 degree bezel, and the mounting hardware needed for a back-mount installation, so the core components arrive together for a straightforward steering system replacement or new install. The helm accepts a standard 3/4 inch round tapered steering wheel shaft and is rated for wheels up to 16 inches in diameter. The system is finished in blue and built with stainless steel components for corrosion resistance in a marine environment.

Because this is an NFB (No Feedback) system, it is intended for non-power-assisted outboard applications only; if the engine is power-assisted, an NFB steering system is not suitable and a different steering solution should be used instead.
