SeaStar SSX17715 XTREME Tilt NFB Steering Kit, 15-Foot Cable, No-Feedback Rotary Outboard Steering System

The SeaStar SSX17715 is a complete XTREME Tilt NFB (No Feedback) rotary steering system built for single-station boats running a single non-power-assisted outboard engine up to a V-6, where engine flutter and steering instability are minimal. The kit pairs a high-efficiency XTREME steering helm with a matched XTREME QC steering cable and a Sport Tilt mechanism, giving the smoothest, lowest-effort mechanical steering in its class while keeping a small installation footprint that suits tight dash helm stations.

The helm uses an improved, high-efficiency custom gear train and is built from zinc and plated steel for durability and smooth operation. The Sport Tilt mechanism provides 48 degrees of tilt across 5 adjustment positions, letting the wheel be set to suit different driving positions and body types. Both the steering cable and the spent travel tube use a quick-connect feature, so the cable, helm, and tilt mechanism install quickly without extensive dash modification. The cable itself uses splined ridges on the inner liner for close, low-friction contact with the core, supporting high steering loads while extending cable life. This kit installs in the same mounting pattern and bracket location as most current SeaStar Solutions rotary steering systems.

The SSX17715 kit includes a 15-foot XTREME QC steering cable and is finished in black. It is made, designed, and assembled in the USA, meets ABYC Safety Standards, and carries ISO/IMCI/NMMA certification.
