SeaStar SSC13417 17-Foot Backmount Rack and Pinion Steering Cable, Single Station

The SeaStar SSC13417 is a 17-foot Backmount Rack and Pinion steering cable built as a direct replacement for 1996-current SeaStar Solutions/Original Teleflex "The Rack" (Back Mount) steering cable with a black cable cover. It is designed for Single Station use only and is not intended for dual-station setups. The cable uses a tightly controlled core-to-conduit fit for precise steering feel, an outer jacket constructed of HDPE (high density polyethylene) for abrasion resistance and water penetration resistance, and Stainless Steel cable output ends for corrosion resistance and long-term reliability.

SSC13417 is compatible with SeaStar helms SH5210P, SH5230P (NFB), SH91610P, and SH91630P (NFB), and this cable is also supplied as the steering cable inside the SeaStar Complete Back Mount Rack System Kits SS141 and SS151. It meets or exceeds NMMA, ISO, IMCI, and ABYC marine steering standards, and it is made, designed, and assembled in the USA. This cable is intended only as a replacement for the original system as installed by the boat manufacturer.

Important: this cable will NOT replace a 1984-1996 SeaStar Solutions/Original Teleflex "The Rack" (Rack and Pinion) steering cable; that older system uses the SSC124xx direct replacement cable instead. A quick way to tell the systems apart is the old cable's rack housing color: black or gray housings are the newer "The Rack" (1984-2001) family that this cable's helm compatibility applies to, while a green rack housing indicates an older TR188-family system that requires a different helm and bezel setup entirely.
