<h3>Teleflex Marine: Decades of Precision on the Water</h3><p><strong>Teleflex Marine</strong> has been synonymous with reliable marine control and steering since its founding in 1943 in Litchfield, Illinois. For generations of boaters, the Teleflex name has represented engineering precision, durability, and confidence at the helm — whether docking a center console or pushing a performance boat to its limits. Now operating under the <strong>SeaStar Solutions</strong> brand (part of the Dometic Group since 2017), Teleflex products continue to be manufactured to the same exacting standards that built the brand&apos;s legendary reputation.</p><p>Teleflex built its legacy by being <a href="/11292-teleflex-steering-parts-accessories-201013">the go-to source for steering parts and accessories</a> across virtually every segment of recreational and commercial boating. From helm units and tilt tubes to tie bars and steering wheels, the breadth of their steering lineup is unmatched in the marine industry. Boaters trust Teleflex components to deliver consistent, responsive feedback in conditions that range from glassy inland lakes to demanding offshore swells.</p><p>At the core of the Teleflex catalog are replacement cables engineered to meet or exceed original equipment specifications. Teleflex cables are built with chemical-resistant casing and feature patented &quot;Quick Connect&quot; hook-ups that make installation straightforward — no special tools required. Whether you&apos;re replacing worn rotary steering cables or refreshing a push-pull mechanical system, Teleflex offers direct-fit options compatible with leading engine brands including Mercury, Johnson, and MerCruiser.</p><p>For larger vessels and high-horsepower applications, hydraulic steering from Teleflex delivers the smooth, effortless helm feel that mechanical systems simply can&apos;t match. Using fluid pressure to transmit steering input from the helm to the engine or rudder, hydraulic systems reduce operator fatigue, eliminate cable slack, and handle high rudder torque with ease. Teleflex hydraulic systems — including the iconic BayStar and SeaStar lineups — are available in configurations for single or multi-station setups.</p><p>Complementing the steering hardware, Teleflex <a href="/11292-teleflex-control-boxes-parts-200286">control boxes and parts give operators precise command over throttle and shift functions. These components are designed for seamless integration with Teleflex cables and steering systems, ensuring a cohesive, well-matched control experience from helm to engine.

Product Details

The Teleflex SSC6216 is a 16-foot Safe-T Quick Connect (QC) rotary mechanical steering cable designed for use with Teleflex and SeaStar Solutions rotary helm systems. This cable fits most Teleflex rotary steering applications from 1968 to present, making it a versatile replacement for a wide range of single-station powerboats.

The SSC6216 directly replaces the SSC62 series (used in Safe-T QC and NFB systems) and the SSC72 series (used in Safe-T TS and Big-T systems). It is also the same cable found in complete steering system kits SS13216, SS13716, and SS14716.

Key Features:

  • 16-foot cable length for versatile installation configurations
  • Quick Connect (QC) snap-in cable ends — no tools required for connection
  • Stainless steel output ends resist corrosion in marine environments
  • Outer jacket constructed of HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene) for abrasion resistance and superior water penetration protection
  • Suitable for virtually all power-assisted stern drive boats with steering wheels up to 16 inches in diameter
  • Meets ABYC safety standards and NMMA certification requirements

Compatible Helm Units: SH4910P, SH4920P, SH5094-1P, SH5150P, SH91190P, SH91523-1P, SH91526P, SH91527P

Replaces: SSC62 series, SSC72 series

Note: For connection to a threaded-spigot helm, use the SSC61 series cable assemblies or order adapter #SA27620P. This cable is also compatible with most marine power systems including MerCruiser I/O, Mercury, Johnson, Evinrude, Force, Yamaha, and Suzuki outboards.

great price

Helpful but calling customer service I kept getting cut off. Finally talked to Hector and he was very helpful.

easy, simple. Hope the product and shipping date hold up, cause I did find it cheaper elsewhere, but with delayed shipping.

Easy to order online - let's see how quickly it gets here and if it's the right part I need!

Great prices

Found the best prices here and the shipping was extremely fast. Happy with my choice to shop here.

Best price in the market and great customer service, plus free shipping.

Everything was quick, simple and straightforward. I liked having a picture of the item I was looking for. I entered my specific vehicle as well to check compatibility. Price was much lower than everyone else. And I was able to pay with Paypal, which I feel is much more secure for online shopping. I received the item quickly, delivered to my door. The lugs have already been installed on the vehicle and were exactly as ordered. I would use this company again.

It was quick and easy.

Great prices and super fast shipping. Found my new online parts store!

Great prices, quick processing, and an overall excellent company
