The kit is designed to deliver a smooth, low-effort mechanical steering feel with minimal lost motion at the wheel, and it uses a No-Feedback clutch that releases smoothly while still holding steering position firmly. It is intended for single-station boats running a single non-power-assisted outboard engine (up to V-6) with minimal engine flutter or steering instability, and it is built to install in the same mounting pattern and bracket location used by most current SeaStar rotary steering systems, so it fits nearly all existing Safe-T style steering installations without dash modification.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe kit includes a new XTREME NFB helm, bezel, and mounting hardware, along with the matching 18-foot XTREME quick-connect (QC) steering cable, plus hardware and instruction sheets. Both the steering cable and the spent travel tube use a quick-connect design for faster installation. The helm is built from zinc and plated steel with a white finish and a compact, low-profile footprint sized to fit small or tight dash helm stations. The steering cable's inner liner uses splined ridges for close, low-friction contact with the cable core, supporting mechanical-range steering loads while extending cable life. This kit is manufactured, designed, and assembled in the USA and is offered in this single-cable configuration; a tilt-helm version of the same kit is sold separately as SSX177xx.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e SeaStar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e SSX17618\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSteering System Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e XTREME NFB (No Feedback) Rotary Steering Kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCable Configuration:\u003c\/strong\u003e Single Cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCable Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18 feet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKit Contents:\u003c\/strong\u003e SHX7606 XTREME NFB Helm, Bezel and Hardware Kit; SSCX64xx XTREME QC Steering Cable; Hardware and Instruction Sheets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Items:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e White\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Metal (zinc and plated steel helm construction)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 27.8 x 20.4 x 6.8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 24.49 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 808282298685\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCategory:\u003c\/strong\u003e Steering Cables \u0026amp; Kits\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCertifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e ABYC Safety Standards, ISO\/IMCI\/NMMA Certification\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of Manufacture:\u003c\/strong\u003e Made, designed, and assembled in the USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty:\u003c\/strong\u003e Two-year recreational user warranty against manufacturing defects\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle-station boats with a single non-power-assisted outboard engine (up to V-6) and minimal engine flutter or steering instability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInstalls in the same mounting pattern and bracket location as most current SeaStar rotary steering systems, fitting nearly all Safe-T style steering installations without dash modification\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSSCX XTREME steering cables are designed to fit only XTREME helms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is included in the SeaStar SSX17618 steering kit?\u003c\/strong\u003e The SSX17618 kit includes a new SHX7606 XTREME NFB helm with bezel and mounting hardware, an 18-foot XTREME quick-connect steering cable, and hardware and instruction sheets for installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the SSX17618 a single-cable or dual-cable steering kit?\u003c\/strong\u003e SSX17618 is a single-cable XTREME NFB rotary steering kit, built around one 18-foot steering cable rather than a dual-cable helm setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does NFB mean on this SeaStar steering kit?\u003c\/strong\u003e NFB stands for No Feedback, a clutch feature in the SSX17618 helm that releases smoothly while still providing strong holding power, reducing steering wheel kickback from the engine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat size boats and engines is the SSX17618 designed for?\u003c\/strong\u003e This XTREME NFB kit is intended for single-station boats with a single non-power-assisted outboard engine up to V-6, where engine flutter or steering instability is minimal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill the SSX17618 fit my existing steering setup without modifying the dash?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the SSX17618 installs in the same mounting pattern and bracket location as most current SeaStar rotary steering systems, so it fits nearly all existing Safe-T style installations without dash modification.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long is the steering cable in the SSX17618 kit?\u003c\/strong\u003e The SSX17618 kit comes with an 18-foot XTREME quick-connect steering cable.
