It is designed for use in jet boat applications and is recommended for boats powered by Mercury Sport Jet or OMC Turbo Jet drives rated up to 175 HP. This cable connects the JBS helm to the jet drive's steering nozzle to transmit steering input, and it is engineered to meet or exceed NMMA and ABYC marine standards for reliable, safe operation on the water.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSSC219XX-series cables, including the SSC21908, are designed as a direct replacement for the earlier SSC229XX cable series, making it straightforward to upgrade or replace an aging jet boat steering cable with current SeaStar hardware. When installing or replacing this cable, use only genuine SeaStar Solutions hardware specifically designed for the JBS system rather than substituting non-SeaStar parts, since the anti-vibratory hardware and bracket components are matched to this cable design.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFinished in black, the cable is proudly made, designed, and assembled in the USA. Because SSC219 cables are built exclusively for JBS systems, boat owners should confirm their helm is a JBS-type system before ordering, and select the correct cable length (this listing is the 8-foot version) for their steering run.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e SeaStar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e SSC21908\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e JBS Steering Cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8 feet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible Drives:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mercury Sport Jet, OMC Turbo Jet, up to 175 HP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4.18 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSystem Compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e JBS (Jet Boat Steering) systems only\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards:\u003c\/strong\u003e Meets or exceeds NMMA and ABYC standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of Origin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Made, designed, and assembled in the USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded Components:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJet boats with a SeaStar JBS (Jet Boat Steering) helm system\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBoats powered by Mercury Sport Jet drives up to 175 HP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBoats powered by OMC Turbo Jet drives up to 175 HP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eReplaces (OEM)\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eSSC219XX-series cables are the designed replacement for earlier SSC229XX-series jet boat steering cables\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat system does the SSC21908 steering cable fit?\u003c\/strong\u003e The SSC21908 is built exclusively for SeaStar's JBS (Jet Boat Steering) system and is not designed for other steering systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long is this steering cable?\u003c\/strong\u003e The SSC21908 measures 8 feet in length, matching the length code in its part number.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhich engines or drives is the SSC21908 compatible with?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is recommended for jet boats powered by Mercury Sport Jet or OMC Turbo Jet drives rated up to 175 HP.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the SSC21908 replace an older SeaStar cable?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, SSC219XX-series cables such as the SSC21908 are designed to replace the earlier SSC229XX-series jet boat steering cables.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat color is the SSC21908 cable?\u003c\/strong\u003e The SSC21908 jet boat steering cable is finished in black.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the SSC21908 weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The SSC21908 steering cable weighs 4.18 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I use non-SeaStar hardware when installing this cable?\u003c\/strong\u003e No, SeaStar advises using only genuine SeaStar Solutions hardware designed for the JBS system when installing the SSC21908;
