SeaStar Xtreme Rack Steering Cable, 15 Feet, SSCX15415

The SeaStar SSCX15415 is a 15 foot Xtreme rack steering cable built for boats using rack and pinion steering systems. It transmits helm input to the outboard or sterndrive steering arm, giving the operator direct, responsive control at the wheel. As part of the Xtreme cable line, it is designed as a durable, direct replacement cable for boats that require a 15 foot length to properly route the steering cable from helm to engine.

The cable measures 26.7 x 19.9 x 3.3 inches in its packaged dimensions and weighs 9.43 pounds, reflecting the solid core and outer casing construction typical of rack steering cables in this length range. It is intended to be installed as a complete cable assembly, replacing a worn, corroded, or damaged steering cable without modification to the existing rack and pinion helm or steering arm hardware.
