Safe-T QC Rotary Steering Kit

SeaStar Solutions/Teleflex Safe-T Quick-Connect Rotary Steering System

The Safe-T QC rotary steering kit provides quick and responsive three-turn steering with easy installation using a patented, no tools process. Note: requires cable connection at the helm.

Traditional SeaStar Solutions mechanical steering is a popular choice for sterndrives, inboards, and other power assisted applications. It is ideal for power-steering boats where No FeedBack systems are not required. The Safe-T Quick Connect Steering System, a rotary steering kit, will cut installation time by 50%. In addition, the compact design requires minimal space behind the dashboard. This safe, reliable rotary steering kit’s unique design offers ‘no tools’ installation.

How to Measure Steering Cables “Measure Twice. Order Once.”

Replacement of Existing Cable:Locate the part number stamped on the old cable’s plastic jacket. If this is not possible, measure for the replacement cable as follows:

For Rotary Steering Cable Replacement, Measure Existing Cable as follows: Measure the plastic cable jacket (“Y” dimension, shown in the above drawing) in inches, add 18″, and round up to the next foot. Order that cable length.

New Rotary Steering Installation:Measure cable routing path from wheel center line to engine connection, as follows:

• A = Centerline of wheel to gunwale (or deck, if routed downward)
• B = Dash to transom
• C = Gunwale to the centerline of cable connection at the centered tiller.

For Cable Installations through the Engine Tilt Tube: Add A, B & C + 6″, then round up to the next foot. Order that length cable.

For Cables Mounted to Transom, Splashwell, or Stringer: Add A, B & C, then subtract 6″ and round up to the next foot. Order that length cable.

TYPICAL SINGLE STATION ROUTING

This diagram displays a single-cable, starboard drive push-pull mechanical cable system. If your mechanical system is different than the one shown above and/or you have any questions about mechanical steering after reviewing this guide, please contact Teleflex (Mechanical) Technical Service at (610)-495-7011 or www.teleflexmarine.com.

Cable routings (such as those found on pontoon boats) may vary from this diagram. Confirm the length you will need by laying a garden hose or similar object) along the cable path then measure the run from the wheel to the engine connection point.
