SeaStar SSC6221 Quick Connect Rotary Steering Cable, 21 Feet, Replaces SSC61xx

The SeaStar SSC6221 is a 21-foot Quick Connect (QC) rotary steering cable built for single-station boats using a standard rotary steering system. It uses SeaStar's Quick Connect snap-in fitting for a fast, simple installation without special tools. The cable's outer jacket is made of HDPE (high density polyethylene), a material chosen for its abrasion resistance and high resistance to water penetration, while the cable output end is constructed of stainless steel for corrosion resistance and long-term durability. A trapped nut at the cable end stays in place during routing, making the cable easier to feed and connect during installation. The SSC6221 is engineered with a tightly controlled core-to-conduit fit, which helps deliver precise, consistent steering feel at the helm. It is intended as a replacement for the original steering cable as installed by the boat manufacturer, and it directly replaces SSC61xx-series cables. The cable is compatible with a range of SeaStar rotary helms, and with the addition of an adapter it can also be fitted to certain older Safe-T and Big-T helm models. This cable meets or exceeds ABYC, ISO, IMCI, and NMMA marine standards and is made, designed, and assembled in the USA. It is backed by SeaStar's recreational user warranty and is environmentally tested for marine use.
