SeaStar Dometic Rack Steering Cable for Back Mount Rack Steering Kit, SSC134XX

Accurate description

This was the same brand of product that came with the boat. Worked and fit perfectly.

I was initially confused by Teleflex & SeaStar products, believing SeaStar were copies. In fact they are the same company and same products but in Canada known as SeaStar. I bought the cable for a Tracker ProV16 with a Mercury 40hp since the original had seized right up. The old cable was a 14 foot but it was installed with 2 small radius bends so I experimented and found there was room to put in a 13 foot cable with larger radius bends. In addition I trimmed back a few inches of the flotation foam near where the cable exited the hull at the outboard end to smooth out a small bend there. The result was better than when the boat was new. You can turn the wheel with one finger now, very smooth operation.

Perfect fit for my boat! I had sticky and extremely stiff steering, it was so difficult to turn that I thought I was going to break the fiberglass console from the torque. Now, I can turn the wheel with one finger - on land! The cable appears to be a direct OEM replacement, the rack end came with fresh grease and the motor end had the perfect amount of lube as well. I haven't tested it in the water yet because it's been too cold and windy (33f and 40mph gusts on lake michigan), but I'm sure it'll feel like a brand new boat once I can take it out!

Exactly as advertised, fast delivery
