SeaStar SSC6225 25-Foot Quick Connect Rotary Steering Cable, Single-Station Boats

The SeaStar SSC6225 is a 25-foot Quick Connect (QC) rotary steering cable built for single-station boats. It uses a simple rotary quick connect snap-in fitting for straightforward installation at the helm and at the outboard or sterndrive steering arm, without the need to disassemble the connection to route the cable. The cable is engineered with a tightly controlled core-to-conduit fit that keeps steering response precise and free of slop as the cable ages. Its outer jacket is made from high-density polyethylene (HDPE), a material chosen for its resistance to abrasion and water penetration, helping the cable hold up in a wet, saltwater-exposed engine compartment. The output end is constructed of stainless steel for corrosion resistance and long-term reliability, and a trapped nut on the cable end stays in place during routing to simplify the install. The SSC6225 is compatible with a range of SeaStar rotary helms, including current No Feedback (NFB) helms and, with the SA27620P adapter, older Safe-T and Big T helms. It is intended strictly as a single-station replacement cable for the original steering system as installed by the boat manufacturer, and it meets ABYC, ISO, IMCI, and NMMA marine steering standards. The cable is made, designed, and assembled in the USA.

Frequently Asked Questions

What length is the SSC6225 steering cable? The SSC6225 is a 25-foot steering cable. Before ordering, confirm 25 feet is the correct length for your boat by measuring the existing steering cable run, since installing the wrong length cable will not work.

Is the SSC6225 a quick connect cable? Yes, the SSC6225 uses SeaStar's rotary Quick Connect (QC) snap-in fitting, which lets the cable be installed and removed without disassembling the connection at the helm or steering arm.

What helms is the SSC6225 compatible with? The SSC6225 fits SeaStar rotary helms SH5150P, SH4910P, SH4920P, SH5094-1P, SH91190P, SH91526P, SH91527P, and SH91523-1P directly. With the SA27620P adapter, it also fits older Safe-T helms (SH5023P, SH5075P, SH91075P, SH91077P) and Big T helms (SH5000P, SH91525P).

Does the SSC6225 replace the older SSC61xx steering cable? Yes, SSC61xx cables are directly replaced by the SSC62xx cable family, which includes the SSC6225, when used together with the SA27620P adapter on older helm models.

Is the SSC6225 suitable for a dual-station boat? No, the SSC6225 is designed for single-station boats only. Dual-station and multi-station steering setups require a different cable configuration.

What is the output end of the SSC6225 made of? The SSC6225 has a stainless steel output end, chosen for corrosion resistance and long-term reliability in the marine environment.

What material is the outer jacket of the SSC6225 made from? The outer jacket is high-density polyethylene (HDPE), which is abrasion resistant and highly resistant to water penetration, helping the SSC6225 hold up in a wet engine compartment.

How much does the SSC6225 steering cable weigh? The SSC6225 weighs 12.21 pounds.

Does the SSC6225 meet marine safety standards? Yes, the SSC6225 meets or exceeds ABYC, ISO, IMCI, and NMMA standards for marine steering cables.

Where is the SSC6225 manufactured? The SSC6225 is made, designed, and assembled in the USA.

Can the SSC6225 be used to replace a factory-installed steering cable? Yes, the SSC6225 is intended as a replacement for the original steering cable system as installed by the boat manufacturer on single-station boats.

What warranty comes with the SSC6225? The SSC6225 is backed by a two-year recreational user warranty against manufacturer defects.
