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 SSC21908 is an 8-foot JBS (Jet Boat Steering) mechanical steering cable designed specifically for jet boat applications. It serves as a direct replacement for the SSC219 series factory steering cables and is engineered for use with smaller jet drives including Mercury Sport Jet and OMC Turbo Jet drives up to 175 HP. The cable meets ABYC P-23 specifications and delivers precise, responsive steering performance.

Key Features:

  • Stainless steel inner core and output ends for increased cable strength and corrosion resistance in harsh marine environments
  • HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene) outer jacket provides excellent abrasion resistance and high resistance to water penetration
  • 3.5" cable travel for accurate and responsive helm response
  • Exceeds ABYC safety standards and meets ISO/IMCI/NMMA certification requirements
  • Cable length measured tip to tip — 8 feet total
  • Compatible with both standard and tilt JBS helm configurations

Compatible Teleflex JBS Helms:

  • SH5087P — JBS Helm (135° turning arc)
  • SH5088P — JBS Helm (270° turning arc)
  • SH91691P — JBS Tilt Helm (135° turning arc)
  • SH91692P — JBS Tilt Helm (270° turning arc)
  • SH91678P and SH91679P (obsolete helms)

Replacement Tip: When replacing an existing JBS steering cable, locate the part number stamped on the plastic jacket of the old cable. If the cable has already been removed, measure from tip to tip and round up to the next whole foot to determine the correct replacement length.
