SeaStar SSC13409 The Rack Back Mount Steering Cable, 9 Feet, Single Station Rack and Pinion Cable

The SeaStar SSC13409 is a 9-foot Back Mount rack and pinion steering cable built for single-station helm systems. It is designed with a tightly controlled core-to-conduit fit that delivers precise steering feel, and it is engineered as a direct replacement for the original Back Mount "The Rack" steering cable installed by the boat manufacturer on 1996-current systems with a black cable cover.

The outer jacket is constructed of high-density polyethylene (HDPE), which resists abrasion and provides strong resistance to water penetration. The cable output ends are stainless steel for corrosion resistance, reliability, and durability in the marine environment. This cable is also the steering cable contained in the SeaStar Complete Back Mount Rack System Kits SS141 and SS151, and it is compatible with helms SH5210P, SH5230P (NFB), SH91610P, and SH91630P (NFB).

The SSC13409 is for single-station use only and is not intended for dual-station applications. It meets or exceeds NMMA, ISO, IMCI, and ABYC marine safety standards and is made, designed, and assembled in the USA. SeaStar backs this cable with a two-year recreational user warranty against manufacturer defects, and it is environmentally tested for marine applications. Before ordering, verify the correct cable length for your steering system, since this is a special-order item.

Frequently Asked Questions

What boats and systems is the SeaStar SSC13409 designed to fit? The SSC13409 is designed as a direct replacement for the 1996-current (black cable cover) SeaStar Solutions/Original Teleflex Back Mount "The Rack" steering cable, and it fits helms SH5210P, SH5230P (NFB), SH91610P, and SH91630P (NFB).

Will the SSC13409 work on an older 1984-1996 rack and pinion system? No. The SSC13409 will not replace the 1984-1996 SeaStar Solutions/Original Teleflex "The Rack" (Rack & Pinion) steering cable. That older system needs the SSC124XX direct replacement cable, though replacing the helm, cable, and bezel with SeaStar Kit SS141 is recommended instead.

Is this cable for single-station or dual-station steering? The SeaStar SSC13409 is for single-station use only.

What materials is the SSC13409 steering cable made from? The outer jacket is high-density polyethylene (HDPE), which resists abrasion and water penetration, while the cable output ends are stainless steel for corrosion resistance.

Does this cable meet marine safety standards? Yes, the SSC13409 meets or exceeds NMMA, ISO, IMCI, and ABYC standards and is environmentally tested for marine applications.
