SeaStar SS15118 NFB Rack Steering Kit, Single Cable, Back Mount, 18 Feet
The SeaStar SS15118 is a No Feedback (NFB) rack and pinion steering kit built for single-station boats running a single non-power-assisted outboard engine up to a V-6. The NFB rack design eliminates feedback at the wheel, giving a precise, consistent feel of 4 turns from lock-to-lock without kickback or flutter transmitted from the engine or waves. The kit uses a single-cable back mount rack configuration and is supplied complete with the steering cable, helm, a 90 degree bezel, and all mounting hardware needed to install the system.
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, making it compatible with the most common wheel sizes used on single-station outboard boats. This SS15118 kit is supplied with an 18 foot steering cable.
