SeaStar SSC6223 Quick Connect Rotary Steering Cable, 23 Feet, Replaces SSC61xx

The SeaStar SSC6223 is a 23-foot Quick Connect rotary steering cable built for single-station boats. It uses a Rotary Quick Connect snap-in connection at the helm for fast, straightforward installation, and is designed as a direct replacement for the original steering cable installed by the boat manufacturer. The outer jacket is constructed of HDPE (high density polyethylene), which resists abrasion and provides high resistance to water penetration, while the cable output end is made of stainless steel for corrosion resistance and long-term durability. A tightly controlled core-to-conduit fit delivers precise, consistent steering feel, and a trapped nut on the cable end holds it in place during routing so installation stays clean.

The SSC6223 is fitted for use with a range of SeaStar rotary helms, including the NFB (No Feedback) Safe-T QC helms, and is part of the SSC62xx cable family that directly replaces earlier SSC61xx cables. With the SA27620P adapter, the SSC6223 can also be fitted to older Safe-T and Big-T helms. It meets or exceeds NMMA, ISO, IMCI, and ABYC marine steering standards, and is made, designed, and assembled in the USA.
