SeaStar SSC6208 Quick Connect Rotary Steering Cable, 8 Feet, Fits SH4920P SH5150P SH4910P Helms

The SeaStar SSC6208 is an 8-foot Quick Connect rotary steering cable built for single-station boat steering systems. It uses SeaStar's Quick Connect (QC) snap-in rotary connection, which lets installers drop the cable into a compatible helm without threading or fitting adjustments, speeding up installation and reducing the chance of a misaligned connection. A tightly controlled core-to-conduit fit delivers precise steering feel, while the stainless steel cable output ends resist corrosion for long-term reliability. The outer jacket is constructed of HDPE (high density polyethylene), a material chosen for its abrasion resistance and high resistance to water penetration in a marine environment. A trapped nut on the cable end stays in place during cable routing, simplifying the install through tight engine spaces.

The SSC6208 is designed for single-station use only and is intended as a replacement for the original steering cable installed by the boat manufacturer. It is built to the Standard Quick Connect Rotary Cable configuration and is compatible with a range of SeaStar rotary and NFB (No FeedBack) helms. The cable meets or exceeds ABYC, NMMA, ISO, and IMCI standards for marine steering components, and is made, designed, and assembled in the USA.
