Teleflex Dometic Xtreme NFB Mechanical Steering Kit

The Teleflex Dometic Xtreme NFB mechanical steering kit is a complete No FeedBack (NFB) rotary steering system for replacing or upgrading the steering on single-station boats. It is made for boats with a single non-power-assisted outboard engine, up to a V6. Each kit pairs an Xtreme NFB helm with a high-efficiency Xtreme quick-connect steering cable. The result is a mechanical outboard steering system with low steering effort.

Key Features:

• No FeedBack (NFB) helm: The helm mechanism locks out steering loads, which reduces prop torque feedback at the wheel.
• Xtreme steering cable: The cable has a high-efficiency design with lower backlash than a standard cable. The maker says it also flexes better and lasts longer.
• Quick-connect installation: The cable and spent travel tube both use quick-connect fittings, which simplifies installation.
• Compact helm: The helm is Zamak cast with zinc-plated steel construction and a high-efficiency gear train. It has a small footprint for tight dash stations.
• Easy upgrade: The helm installs in the same mounting pattern and bracket location as current Teleflex/SeaStar steering systems.
• Standard shaft: The kit has a 3/4 in. tapered steering shaft and accepts steering wheels up to 16 in. in diameter. The steering wheel is sold separately.
• Marine-ready construction: The kit has stainless steel cable ends. The cable has a high-density polyethylene outer jacket that resists abrasion and water intrusion.
• Made in the USA: The system is designed and assembled in the USA.

Application notes: The single-cable system suits boats with minimal engine flutter or steering instability. Boats with engine flutter or steering instability should use a dual-cable system. NFB steering is not for use with autopilots or power-assisted steering.

Also known as the SeaStar Solutions Xtreme NFB mechanical steering system, this kit gives boaters a smooth, dependable steering upgrade that is simple to install.
