SeaStar SSC6212 Quick Connect Rotary Steering Cable, 12 Feet, Single-Station Boats

The SeaStar SSC6212 is a 12-foot Quick Connect (QC) rotary steering cable built for single-station boats. It uses SeaStar's simple rotary quick connect snap-in connection for a fast, straightforward installation, and the cable output end is constructed of stainless steel for reliability and corrosion resistance. The outer jacket is made from HDPE (high-density polyethylene), a material chosen for its abrasion resistance and high resistance to water penetration, while a tightly controlled core-to-conduit fit delivers precise steering feel. A trapped nut on the cable end stays in place during cable routing, simplifying the installation process.

The SSC6212 is part of the SSC62xx cable family, which directly replaces the older SSC61xx steering cable. When paired with the SA27620P adapter, SSC62xx cables also fit older Old Safe-T and Big-T helm models. This steering cable is only recommended as a replacement for the original system as installed by the boat manufacturer, and SeaStar always recommends No-Feedback (NFB) helms for outboard applications, since NFB helms lock out steering loads caused by propeller torque. The SSC6212 meets or exceeds ABYC, ISO, IMCI and NMMA standards and is made, designed and assembled in the USA.
