SeaStar SSC21917 17-Foot Jet Boat Steering Cable (JBS), Replaces SSC229XX Series

The SeaStar SSC21917 is a 17-foot mechanical steering cable built for Jet Boat Steering (JBS) systems. It is part of the SSC219XX cable family, which is the direct successor to the earlier SSC229XX series -- if your boat currently uses an SSC229XX cable, the SSC21917 is the correct replacement at this length.

This cable is designed specifically for jet boat applications and is recommended for use with Mercury Sport Jet or OMC Turbo Jet drives up to 175 hp. It meets or exceeds NMMA and ABYC marine steering standards, and is made, designed, and assembled in the USA. Because SSC219 cables are built only for the JBS systems they are designed for, always confirm your existing cable's part number and required length before ordering -- steering cables are not universal across systems, and installing the wrong length or series can affect steering performance.

Replacement hardware for this cable, including the anti-vibratory patch hex bolts used at the mounting bracket, should be genuine SeaStar Solutions hardware specifically designed for this product; substituting other hardware is not recommended.
