SeaStar Xtreme NFB Rotary Steering Kit, SSX17619, Single Cable, 19 Feet

The SeaStar SSX17619 is a complete Xtreme NFB (No Feedback) rotary steering kit built for single-station boats with a single non-power-assisted outboard engine up to a V-6. The kit pairs a Xtreme NFB helm with a matched 19-foot Xtreme QC steering cable, delivering a smoother, lower-effort mechanical steering feel than standard rotary systems while keeping a compact footprint suited to small or tight dash helm stations.

The helm (SHX7606) uses a high-efficiency gear train and is constructed of zinc and plated steel. Two bolts secure the quick-connect (QC) cable to the helm and one bolt holds the spent travel tube, and the cast-finish helm includes the No FeedBack clutch feature for a smoother release on the spent travel tube side. The Xtreme QC steering cable features splined ridges on the inner liner for close, low-friction contact with the core, supporting mechanical-range steering loads while extending cable life. Both the steering cable and spent travel tube use a quick-connect design for straightforward installation, and the kit installs in the same mounting pattern and bracket location as most current SeaStar rotary steering systems.

This kit includes the SHX7606 Xtreme NFB helm, bezel, and hardware kit; the matched Xtreme QC steering cable (19 feet); and hardware and instruction sheets. It fits nearly all SeaStar Safe-T steering systems without dash modification. Note that Xtreme (SSCX) cables are designed to work only with Xtreme helms. A tilt-helm version of this same kit is offered separately under the SSX177XX part number.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is included in the SeaStar SSX17619 kit? The SSX17619 kit includes a SHX7606 Xtreme NFB helm, bezel, and hardware kit, a matched Xtreme QC steering cable measuring 19 feet, plus hardware and instruction sheets for installation.

What does NFB mean on this steering kit? NFB stands for No FeedBack, a clutch feature built into the SSX17619 helm that provides a smoother release on the spent travel tube side and reduces steering wheel kickback from the engine.

What boats and engines is the SSX17619 designed for? This kit is designed for single-station boats with a single non-power-assisted outboard engine up to a V-6, and it fits nearly all SeaStar Safe-T steering systems without dash modification.

How long is the steering cable in the SSX17619 kit? The Xtreme QC steering cable included with the SSX17619 kit is 19 feet long. Always verify cable length against your boat's existing setup before ordering, since incorrect length is a common installation issue.

Can I use a different steering cable brand with the SSX17619 helm? No. The SSX17619 helm is an Xtreme (SHX) helm, and Xtreme (SSCX) steering cables are designed to fit only Xtreme helms, so the cable and helm should be kept as a matched Xtreme pair.

Is a tilt-helm version of this kit available? Yes, a tilt-helm version of the same Xtreme NFB steering system is offered as a separate kit under the SSX177XX part number, distinct from the fixed-helm SSX17619.

What is the helm made of? The SHX7606 helm included in the SSX17619 kit is constructed of zinc and plated steel, with a cast finish and a high-efficiency gear train.

How does installation of the SSX17619 work? Both the steering cable and spent travel tube use a quick-connect design, and the helm uses two bolts to secure the QC cable and one bolt to hold the spent travel tube, so the SSX17619 installs in the same mounting pattern and bracket location as most current SeaStar rotary steering systems.

Does the SSX17619 meet marine safety standards? Yes, the SSX17619 steering system meets ABYC Safety Standards and is ISO/IMCI/NMMA Certified.

How many steering cables come in the SSX17619 kit? The SSX17619 is a single-cable kit, meaning it includes one Xtreme QC steering cable along with the matched NFB helm.
