SeaStar SSC6220 20-Foot Rotary Quick Connect Steering Cable for Safe-T Helms

The SeaStar SSC6220 is a 20-foot rotary Quick Connect steering cable built as a direct replacement for the original steering system installed by the boat manufacturer on single-station boats. It uses a Simple Rotary Quick Connect snap-in connection at the helm for fast, straightforward installation without special tools. A tightly controlled core-to-conduit fit delivers precise, consistent steering feel, while the outer jacket is constructed of high-density polyethylene (HDPE), a material chosen for its abrasion resistance and high resistance to water penetration in a marine environment. The cable output end is stainless steel, providing corrosion resistance and long-term durability, and a trapped nut on the cable end keeps hardware in place during routing and installation. This cable is intended for single-station steering applications only and is recommended strictly as a replacement for an existing factory-installed system rather than for building a new custom steering run. It is designed to work with a range of Safe-T rotary helms directly, and with the SA27620P adapter it also fits older Safe-T and Big T helm models. The SSC6220 meets or exceeds ABYC safety standards and ISO, IMCI, and NMMA certification requirements, and it is made, designed, and assembled in the USA.
