SeaStar SS15119 NFB Rack and Pinion Steering Kit, Single Cable, 19 Feet
The SeaStar SS15119 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 design eliminates kickback at the helm, giving the operator a precise, consistent feel through four turns from lock to lock regardless of engine torque or prop wash. This back mount, single-cable configuration comes with a 19 foot steering cable, making it a direct fit for boats already set up for back mount NFB rack steering.
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 large majority of helm wheel setups on runabouts and center consoles. The cable's output ends are stainless steel for corrosion resistance and a secure connection at the engine tilt tube. Installation follows standard NFB rack procedures, making it a straightforward swap for boat owners replacing worn or feedback-prone steering systems.
