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 SSX17716 (now marketed under SeaStar Solutions by Dometic) is a complete XTREME™ Tilt No FeedBack (NFB) Mechanical Rotary Steering Kit with a 16-foot steering cable. Engineered as the smoothest and lowest-effort mechanical helm available, this system is purpose-built for single-station boats with single non-power-assisted outboard engines up to V6 with minimal engine flutter.

The XTREME NFB system combines a high-efficiency custom gear train with SeaStar's patented No FeedBack clutch technology to virtually eliminate propeller torque feedback at the wheel. The compact Zamak casting and zinc-plated steel construction deliver reduced weight and superior helm strength — all within a smaller footprint that easily accommodates tight or shallow dash helm stations.

Key Features:

  • Patented No FeedBack (NFB) clutch mechanism minimizes engine torque effects and reduces steering backlash
  • XTREME steering cable features splined ridges on the inner liner to reduce internal friction, minimize lost motion, and extend cable life
  • 48 degrees of tilt with 5 adjustment positions via the Sport Tilt Mechanism for customizable driving ergonomics
  • Quick-connect feature on both the steering cable and spent travel tube — no tools required for cable installation
  • Compact Zamak housing with new-style bezel for reduced weight and superior strength
  • Installs in the same mounting pattern and bracket location as existing SeaStar Solutions and Teleflex steering systems — no dashboard modifications required
  • Designed, assembled, and made in the USA

Kit Includes:

  • XTREME Tilt NFB Helm (SHX97606)
  • Sport Tilt Mechanism / Bezel (SH91800B)
  • 16 ft XTREME QC Steering Cable (SSCX6416)
  • Hardware kit and instruction sheets

This kit is a direct replacement for original Teleflex Marine factory steering systems and is ideal for upgrading boats that suffer from engine torque feedback or that have higher-horsepower engines and larger wetted hull surfaces. No hydraulic bleeding or electrical wiring is required for installation.

Came quick, no hassle

Painless order at a couple hundred dollars less than other online suppliers.

First time buyer. So far so good.

This was one of the few places I could find that had these in stock.

You had what i was looking for

I was charged $9.99 for shipping even though the ad stated free shipping...i was refunded $9.99 BUT i still paid tax on that $9.99 that i was not refunded. Other than that everything was all good...the megan racing muffler looks and sounds great!!! I wanted a muffler that wasnt obnoxiously loud but louder than stock and thats exactly what i got....AND the construction of the muffler is definitely good quality!!
