SeaStar Xtreme Rack Steering Cable, 16 Feet, SSCX15416

The SeaStar Xtreme Rack Steering Cable (SSCX15416) is a 16 foot rack-and-pinion style steering cable built for boats using SeaStar Xtreme steering systems. It transmits helm input to the outboard or sterndrive steering mechanism, converting rotational motion at the helm into the linear rack movement that turns the engine or drive. As a rack style cable, it is designed to connect directly to a compatible Xtreme rack steering system rather than a standard rotary steering cylinder.

The cable weighs 9.74 pounds and ships in a coiled package measuring 27 x 3.5 x 20 inches, consistent with the flexible steel-core, nylon-jacketed construction typical of marine rack steering cables that must route through tight hull and console spaces while resisting moisture, UV exposure, and constant flex-and-turn cycling at the helm.

Replacing a worn or corroded steering cable restores precise, consistent steering feel and eliminates play, binding, or excessive helm effort that develops as an older cable's internal core wears. The SSCX15416 is sold as a direct, exact-length replacement or upgrade cable for boats already equipped with a compatible SeaStar Xtreme rack steering setup.
