The kit pairs a No-Feedback (NFB) XTREME helm with a Sport Tilt Mechanism and a 16-foot XTREME QC steering cable, giving lower steering effort and reduced lost motion at the wheel compared to a standard rotary helm, along with a smooth release of the no-feedback clutch and strong holding power. The Sport Tilt Mechanism provides 48 degrees of tilt across 5 adjustment positions in a tapered design, letting the helm angle be set to suit the driver and dash layout. Both the steering cable and the spent travel tube use a quick connect feature, which speeds up installation at the helm and at the outboard end. The helm is built with a zinc and plated steel gear train sized for a small, light installation footprint, so it fits into tight dash spaces and lines up with the mounting pattern and bracket location used by most current SeaStar Solutions rotary steering systems. The steering cable's inner liner uses splined ridges for close, low-friction contact with the core, supporting mechanical-range steering loads over an extended cable life. The kit is made, designed, and assembled in the USA and includes the helm, tilt mechanism, steering cable, mounting hardware, and instruction sheets needed for installation.\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 SSX17716\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tilt NFB Steering Kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCable Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 16 feet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTilt Range:\u003c\/strong\u003e 48 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTilt Adjustment Positions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelm Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e SHX97606\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSport Tilt Mechanism Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e SH91800B\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSteering Cable Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e SSCX64XX\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelm Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Zinc and plated steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 23.73 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCertification:\u003c\/strong\u003e ABYC Safety Standards, ISO\/IMCI\/NMMA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of Assembly:\u003c\/strong\u003e 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\u003cp\u003eDesigned for most single-station boats with a single non-power-assisted outboard engine up to a V-6, with minimal engine flutter or steering instability.
