The SeaStar Solutions SSX17714 XTREME Tilt NFB Steering Kit is a complete mechanical steering system engineered to deliver the lowest steering effort and smoothest feel of any mechanical helm on the market. Designed for outboard-powered boats, this kit combines SeaStar's high-efficiency XTREME steering cable technology with an advanced No FeedBack (NFB) helm and Sport Tilt Mechanism, all in a single, ready-to-install package with a 14-foot cable.
The NFB clutch built into the helm locks out steering loads caused by propeller torque, eliminating kickback at the wheel and reducing unwanted backlash for more confident, controlled handling. The Sport Tilt Mechanism provides 48 degrees of tilt range across 5 positive lock positions, allowing the helm to be adjusted to suit virtually any operator height or driving position.
The XTREME steering cable features splined ridges on the inner liner that reduce internal friction, minimize lost motion, and extend cable service life. A quick-connect design on both the steering cable and spent travel tube allows for fast, tool-free installation — no hydraulic bleeding or electrical wiring required.
