Teleflex

<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. Rounding out the lineup, <a href="/11292-teleflex-utility-cables-201131">utility cables</a> handle a range of specialized onboard applications, offering the same robust construction and marine-grade materials found throughout the Teleflex product family.</p><h3>Why Boaters Choose Teleflex</h3><ul style="list-style:disc"><li><strong>Proven Heritage:</strong> Over 80 years of marine engineering experience since 1943</li><li><strong>Industry-Standard Fit:</strong> Components designed to replace OEM parts from major engine brands</li><li><strong>Marine-Grade Construction:</strong> Chemical-resistant materials built to withstand harsh saltwater and freshwater environments</li><li><strong>Broad Compatibility:</strong> Systems for inboards, outboards, and sterndrives with single or twin motors</li><li><strong>Trusted by Professionals:</strong> Used by OEM boat builders, dealers, and serious boaters worldwide</li></ul><p>Whether you&apos;re maintaining a weekend runabout or refitting a working vessel, Teleflex delivers the components you need to stay in control on the water.</p>

Product Details

The Teleflex SS13721 is a complete Safe-T Quick Connect Rotary Steering Kit with a 21-foot cable, designed for power-assisted sterndrive boats up to 24 feet. This proven mechanical steering system delivers quick, responsive control with a 3-turn lock-to-lock ratio and installs with minimal effort thanks to its patented tool-free Quick Connect (QC) cable attachment — reducing installation time significantly compared to conventional systems.

The Safe-T QC system is the ideal choice for runabouts, bass boats, pontoon boats, and small cruisers where No Feedback (NFB) systems are not required. It directly replaces all Teleflex Safe-T helms manufactured since 1968 with little or no dashboard modification, making it a straightforward upgrade for aging steering systems.

Key Features:

  • Patented Quick Connect design — cable snaps in without tools for fast, easy installation
  • 3-turn lock-to-lock ratio for smooth, predictable steering response
  • Compact rotary helm unit (SH5094-1P) occupies minimal space behind the dash
  • Standard 3/4" tapered shaft compatible with steering wheels up to 16" in diameter
  • Stainless steel output ends on the steering cable for maximum corrosion resistance
  • Includes 90° Safe-T QC bezel (SB27484P) with a variety of mounting options
  • Trapped nut on the engine end simplifies coupler connection during installation
  • Meets ABYC safety standards and NMMA certification requirements
  • Single-station use only; twin cable not available in kit form

  • Safe-T QC Helm Unit — SH5094-1P
  • 90° Safe-T QC Bezel — SB27484P
  • 21-foot QC Steering Cable — SSC6221
