SeaStar SSC13416 16-Foot Back Mount Rack and Pinion Steering Cable, Replaces 1996-Current The Rack Systems

The SeaStar SSC13416 is a 16-foot back mount rack and pinion steering cable built as a direct replacement for the original steering cable installed by the boat manufacturer on 1996-current SeaStar Solutions/Original Teleflex "The Rack" (Back Mount) steering systems with a black cable cover. It uses a rack and pinion design engineered to fit the helm space and application requirements of back mount steering setups, and it is intended for single station use only.

The cable features a tightly controlled core-to-conduit fit for precise steering feel, and its outer jacket is constructed from HDPE (high density polyethylene), a material that resists abrasion and provides strong resistance to water penetration. The cable output ends are made of stainless steel for corrosion resistance, reliability, and durability. The SSC13416 meets or exceeds NMMA, ISO, IMCI, and ABYC marine safety standards, and it is made, designed, and assembled in the USA.

This cable fits helms SH5210P, SH5230P (NFB), SH91610P, and SH91630P (NFB), and it is the steering cable contained in the SeaStar Complete Back Mount Rack System Kits SS141 and SS151. It will NOT replace 1984-1996 SeaStar Solutions/Original Teleflex "The Rack" (Rack and Pinion) steering cable; those earlier systems require the SSC124XX cable instead. SeaStar Solutions recommends No-Feedback (NFB) helms for outboard applications, since NFB helms lock out steering loads caused by propeller torque. This product is backed by a two-year recreational user warranty against manufacturer defects and is environmentally tested for marine applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the SeaStar SSC13416 fit? The SSC13416 is designed as a direct replacement for the steering cable on 1996-current SeaStar Solutions/Original Teleflex "The Rack" (Back Mount) steering systems with a black cable cover, as originally installed by the boat manufacturer.

Is this cable 16 feet long? Yes, the SSC13416 is a 16-foot back mount rack and pinion steering cable.

Which helms is the SSC13416 compatible with? This cable fits helms SH5210P, SH5230P (NFB), SH91610P, and SH91630P (NFB).

Will the SSC13416 work on a 1985 boat with a rack and pinion cable? No. The SSC13416 will not replace a 1984-1996 SeaStar Solutions/Original Teleflex "The Rack" (Rack and Pinion) steering cable. Those earlier systems require the SSC124XX cable instead, and replacing the helm, cable, and bezel with SeaStar Kit SS141 is recommended for that upgrade.

Can this cable be used for a dual station steering setup? No, the SSC13416 is designed for single station use only.

What is the outer jacket of the SSC13416 made of? The outer jacket is constructed from HDPE (high density polyethylene), a material chosen for abrasion resistance and strong resistance to water penetration.

What are the cable output ends made of? The SSC13416 has cable output ends made of stainless steel, which provide reliability and durability against corrosion.

Does the SSC13416 come as part of a kit? Yes, this steering cable is included in the SeaStar Complete Back Mount Rack System Kits SS141 and SS151, or it can be purchased separately as the SSC13416.

How much does the SSC13416 weigh? The SeaStar SSC13416 weighs 9.74 pounds.

Is a No-Feedback helm recommended with this cable? For outboard applications, SeaStar Solutions recommends No-Feedback (NFB) helms, which lock out steering loads caused by propeller torque and reduce driver fatigue compared to a standard helm.

What standards does the SSC13416 meet? The SSC13416 meets or exceeds NMMA, ISO, IMCI, and ABYC marine safety standards.

What warranty comes with the SeaStar SSC13416? The SSC13416 is backed by a two-year recreational user warranty against manufacturer defects and is environmentally tested for marine applications.
