NFB rack steering is designed to eliminate feedback at the helm, meaning the wheel does not kick back or fight the operator's hand, which gives a cleaner, more predictable steering feel through the full range of motion. This back mount rack system uses a single-cable design and delivers a precise 4 turns lock-to-lock, so the boat responds consistently whether making small course corrections or full-lock turns.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe kit is built around a long rack and pinion steering mechanism rather than a rotary (diecast helm housing) design, and it is engineered as a complete, ready-to-install system. It includes the steering cable, helm, a 90 degree bezel, and the mounting hardware needed to complete the installation, so no separate helm or cable purchase is required. The helm accepts a standard 3\/4 inch round tapered steering wheel shaft and is rated for steering wheels up to 16 inches in diameter, covering the most common wheel sizes used on single-station boats. With a 17 foot cable length, the SS15117 is sized for boats where the helm-to-engine run requires that distance. Because it is an NFB rack system, it is intended for non-power-assisted outboard applications; it is not intended for use with power-assisted engines.\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 SS15117\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e NFB (No Feedback) Rack Steering Kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting Style:\u003c\/strong\u003e Back Mount Rack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCable Configuration:\u003c\/strong\u003e Single Cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCable Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 17 feet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSteering Feel:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4 turns lock-to-lock\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\u003eIncluded Components:\u003c\/strong\u003e Steering cable, helm, 90 degree bezel, mounting hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 16.35 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 731957092199\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle-station boats with a single non-power-assisted outboard engine up to a V-6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNot for use with power-assisted engines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat boats is the SeaStar SS15117 designed for?\u003c\/strong\u003e The SS15117 NFB rack steering kit is designed for single-station boats with a single non-power-assisted outboard engine up to a V-6.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long is the steering cable on the SS15117?\u003c\/strong\u003e The SeaStar SS15117 uses a 17 foot single steering cable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does NFB mean on this SeaStar steering kit?\u003c\/strong\u003e NFB stands for No Feedback, meaning the SS15117 rack steering system is designed so the wheel does not kick back or fight the operator's hand during operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan the SS15117 be used with a power-assisted engine?\u003c\/strong\u003e No, the SS15117 is an NFB rack steering kit and cannot be used if the engine is power-assisted.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat steering wheel shaft size does the SS15117 use?\u003c\/strong\u003e The SeaStar SS15117 accepts a standard 3\/4 inch round tapered steering wheel shaft.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the maximum steering wheel diameter for this kit?\u003c\/strong\u003e The SS15117 NFB rack accepts steering wheels up to 16 inches in diameter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is included in the SS15117 kit?\u003c\/strong\u003e The kit includes the steering cable, helm, a 90 degree bezel, and the mounting hardware needed for installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow many turns lock-to-lock does the SS15117 have?\u003c\/strong\u003e The SeaStar SS15117 delivers 4 turns from lock-to-lock.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the SS15117 a single-cable or dual-cable steering system?\u003c\/strong\u003e The SS15117 is a single-cable back mount rack steering system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the SeaStar SS15117 steering kit weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The SS15117 weighs 16.35 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the SS15117 rack and pinion or rotary steering?\u003c\/strong\u003e The SS15117 is a rack and pinion steering system, which uses a long rack behind the dash rather than the rounded diecast helm housing used in rotary steering systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the SS15117 suitable for a boat with a V-8 outboard?\u003c\/strong\u003e No, the SS15117 is intended for a single non-power-assisted outboard engine up to a V-6.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SeaStar","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48989375693019,"sku":"TEL-SS15117","price":373.61,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/81Q2vcyi6wL_f5e87929-7d3a-4688-b757-e983f352cb4d.jpg?v=1784478113","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/seastar-ss15117-nfb-rack-pinion-steering-kit-with-17-ft-single-cable-fits-single-station-outboard-boats-up-to-v-6","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
