SeaStar SS15216 NFB Pro Rack Dual Cable Steering Kit, Back Mount, 16 Feet

The SeaStar SS15216 is a No FeedBack (NFB) Pro Rack Steering Kit built around a dual-cable rack helm, designed to eliminate the kickback and lost motion common in single-cable rack steering systems. The patented No FeedBack steering mechanism uses two cables working in tandem to minimize lost motion through the system, giving the helm a precise, consistent feel across a tight 4 turns lock-to-lock. Minimal clutch free play keeps steering response tight even after extended use.

This kit is built for fast, straightforward installation: the back mount design allows the helm to be placed quickly behind the dash, and the mounting hardware fits industry-standard SeaStar Solutions rack holes so it drops into compatible dash setups without custom fabrication. The helm uses a standard 3/4 inch round tapered steering shaft, and the dual cables terminate in stainless steel cable output ends for corrosion resistance at the connection points. This kit includes 16 feet of dual steering cable, sized for larger boats and longer helm-to-engine cable runs. It is a universal-fit boat steering kit, suited to installations that call for a back-mount NFB rack helm with a 16-foot dual cable run.
