SeaStar SSC13412 Back Mount Rack Steering Cable, 12 Feet, Single Station
SeaStar SSC13412 Back Mount Rack Steering Cable, 12 Feet, Single Station
The SeaStar SSC13412 is a 12-foot rack and pinion steering cable built for back mount rack steering systems on single station boats. It is designed as a direct replacement for the original 1996-to-current SeaStar Solutions/Teleflex "The Rack" (Back Mount) steering cable identified by its black cable cover, restoring precise, predictable steering feel as the original factory-installed cable wears out.
The cable uses a tightly controlled core-to-conduit fit for accurate steering response, with an outer jacket built from high density polyethylene (HDPE) that resists abrasion and water penetration. The cable output ends are constructed of stainless steel for corrosion resistance and long-term durability. The SSC13412 is compatible with helms SH5210P, SH5230P (NFB), SH91610P, and SH91630P (NFB), and is also the steering cable contained in the SeaStar Complete Back Mount Rack System Kits SS141 and SS151.
This cable is intended for single station use only and is a replacement for the original system as installed by the boat manufacturer. It will not replace the earlier 1984-1996 SeaStar Solutions/Teleflex "The Rack" (Rack & Pinion) steering cable; that earlier system uses the SSC124XX cable, though SeaStar recommends replacing the helm, cable, and bezel as a complete system (kit SS141) when upgrading from the older design. The SSC13412 meets or exceeds NMMA, ISO, IMCI, and ABYC marine safety standards and is made, designed, and assembled in the United States.

Frequently Asked Questions
What steering system does the SeaStar SSC13412 fit? The SSC13412 is a back mount rack and pinion steering cable that fits the 1996-to-current SeaStar Solutions/Teleflex "The Rack" (Back Mount) system identified by its black cable cover, and is compatible with helms SH5210P, SH5230P (NFB), SH91610P, and SH91630P (NFB).
Is the SSC13412 a single or dual station cable? SeaStar's SSC13412 cable is designed for single station use only.
How long is this steering cable? The SSC13412 measures 12 feet in length.
Will the SSC13412 replace a 1984 rack and pinion steering cable? No. The SSC13412 will not replace the 1984-1996 SeaStar Solutions/Teleflex "The Rack" (Rack & Pinion) steering cable; that older system requires the SSC124XX cable, and SeaStar recommends replacing the helm, cable, and bezel together using kit SS141 when upgrading from the earlier design.
What are the cable output ends made of? The output ends on the SSC13412 are constructed of stainless steel for corrosion resistance and durability.
What material is the outer jacket made from? A high density polyethylene (HDPE) outer jacket is used on the SSC13412, chosen for abrasion resistance and resistance to water penetration.
What safety standards does this cable meet? The SSC13412 meets or exceeds NMMA, ISO, IMCI, and ABYC marine safety standards.
Where is the SSC13412 made? This steering cable is made, designed, and assembled in the United States.
What warranty comes with this cable? SeaStar backs the SSC13412 with a two-year recreational user warranty against manufacturer defects.
What is included when I order the SSC13412? One 12-foot backmount rack single steering cable is included; no helm or bezel hardware is part of this item.
How is the SSC13412 different from the SSC154XX cable? The SSC154XX Xtreme Rack & Pinion Cable is an upgrade option over the standard SSC13412 for buyers wanting a higher-performance back mount rack cable.
How do I know if my boat needs the SSC13412 instead of a different rack cable? Check the color of your existing cable's rack housing: a black cable cover indicates the 1996-to-current system that the SSC13412 is designed to replace, while an older black or gray rack housing points to the 1984-2001 system needing a different cable.
