SeaStar SSC13414 14-Foot Backmount Rack Single Steering Cable

The SeaStar SSC13414 is a 14-foot Backmount Rack single steering cable built for rack-and-pinion helm systems. It uses a tightly controlled core-to-conduit fit for precise steering feel, an outer jacket constructed of HDPE (high-density polyethylene) that resists abrasion and water penetration, and cable output ends made of stainless steel for corrosion resistance and long-term durability. The cable is designed for single station use only.

This cable is intended as a replacement for the 1996-Current (black cable cover) SeaStar Solutions/original Teleflex "The Rack" (Back Mount) Steering Cable as installed by the original boat manufacturer, and is compatible with SH5210P, SH5230P (NFB), SH91610P, and SH91630P (NFB) helms. It is also the steering cable contained in SeaStar Complete Back Mount Rack System Kits SS141 and SS151. It meets or exceeds NMMA, ISO, IMCI, and ABYC marine standards and is made, designed, and assembled in the USA. Before ordering, verify the cable length matches your application, since a rack and pinion cable that is too short or too long will not connect and install correctly.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the SeaStar SSC13414 steering cable used for? The SSC13414 is a 14-foot Backmount Rack single steering cable that connects a rack-and-pinion helm to the outboard or stern drive, transmitting the steering input from the wheel to the engine.

Is this cable a direct replacement for my original steering cable? The SSC13414 replaces the 1996-Current (black cable cover) SeaStar Solutions/original Teleflex "The Rack" (Back Mount) Steering Cable as installed by the original boat manufacturer. It does not replace the 1984-1996 "The Rack" (Rack & Pinion) Steering Cable, which requires a different cable.

How long is the SSC13414 steering cable? This cable measures 14 feet, as indicated by the SSC13414 part number. Always verify the correct cable length for your application before ordering, since the wrong length will not connect properly to the helm.

How much does the SSC13414 weigh? The SeaStar SSC13414 weighs 9.14 pounds.

Which helms is the SSC13414 compatible with? This cable is designed to fit SH5210P, SH5230P (NFB), SH91610P, and SH91630P (NFB) helms.

What is the cable jacket made of? The SSC13414's outer jacket is constructed of HDPE (high-density polyethylene), a material chosen for its abrasion resistance and high resistance to water penetration.

What material are the cable output ends made of? The output ends on the SSC13414 are constructed of stainless steel for reliability and corrosion resistance.

Can I use the SSC13414 for a dual station steering setup? No. The SSC13414 is designed for single station use only.

Is the SSC13414 sold as part of a complete steering kit? This cable is also included in SeaStar Complete Back Mount Rack System Kits SS141 and SS151, in addition to being available on its own.

My old rack cable's housing is black or gray and won't connect to a new SSC134 cable. Why? A black or gray rack housing typically indicates an older "The Rack" model from 1984-2001, which uses a different helm bolt pattern than current SeaStar Solutions systems. The SSC13414 will not bolt up to that older helm; the helm and bezel kit need to be replaced with a current "The Rack" version as well.

Does the SSC13414 meet marine industry standards? Yes, the SSC13414 meets or exceeds NMMA, ISO, IMCI, and ABYC standards for marine steering systems.

Where is the SSC13414 made? The SeaStar SSC13414 steering cable is made, designed, and assembled in the USA.
