SeaStar Solutions SSX17718 Xtreme Tilt NFB Mechanical Steering Kit 18ft

The SeaStar Solutions SSX17718 Xtreme Tilt NFB Steering Kit is a complete mechanical steering system designed to deliver the smoothest and lowest-effort steering available for single-station outboard boats. Engineered with SeaStar's proprietary XTREME steering technology, this kit is built for single non-power-assisted outboard engines up to V-6 with minimal engine flutter or steering instability.

No-Feedback (NFB) Technology:

The NFB helm locks out propeller torque feedback, preventing the steering wheel from turning unexpectedly due to prop rotation forces. This significantly reduces steering effort and improves on-water safety and control.

Key Features:

• Complete steering system — includes helm (SHX97606), XTREME steering cable (18 ft), tilt bezel/mechanism (SH91800), and all necessary hardware
• High-efficiency XTREME cable design offers lower backlash and reduced lost motion compared to standard steering cables
• 48 degrees of tilt with 5 adjustment positions via the tapered Sport Tilt Mechanism for a customized driving position
• Quick-connect feature on both the steering cable and spent travel tube for fast, straightforward installation
• Installs in the same mounting pattern and bracket location as existing SeaStar Solutions rotary steering systems — minimal dash modification required
• Smallest footprint possible, ideal for small or tight dash helm stations
• Meets ABYC safety standards and ISO/IMCI/NMMA certification requirements
• Made, designed, and assembled in the USA

The SSX17718 is the 18-foot cable length variant of the SSX177XX series. The XTREME cable's close core-to-liner fit minimizes lost motion while still allowing proper lubrication, resulting in precise, responsive steering feel. This kit is a direct upgrade path for boaters currently running standard SeaStar rotary steering systems.
