SeaStar Solutions Xtreme Mechanical Steering Cable

SeaStar Solutions Xtreme Mechanical Steering Cable

The SeaStar Solutions XTREME steering cable was designed specifically for XTREME helms. This cable offers lower backlash and is more efficient than a standard steering cable. It provides the lowest ease of effort, a close "fit" of the core to liner for lowest lost motion. This concept provides the tight fit of core to liner yet allows area for lubrication. A quick connect feature on both the steering cable and spent travel tube allow for quick and easy installation.

Xtreme Steering cables feature a super tough HDPE jacket for the ultimate protection against the elements. Oil tempered lay wires provide superior strength and performance. Additionally, a long-wearing HDPE liner is ultra soft and lubricated for life.

Features:

• Based on the current industry leading Xtreme technology
• Splined ridges on the inner liner allow close contact with core
• With minimum contact the core glides freely
• Tight fit for minimal lost motion
• Reduced friction for extended cycle life
• Robust construction support highest steering loads in the mechanical range

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

Replacement of Existing Cable: If possible, find the part number stamped on the plastic jacket of the old cable. If you removed the old cable, measure for the replacement cable as follows:

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

New Installation: Measure cable routing path from wheel center line to engine connection, as follows: A = Center line of wheel to gunwale (or deck, if routed downward), B = Dash to transom, C = Gunwale to centerline of cable connection at 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

A single-cable, starboard drive push-pull mechanical cable system is shown in this diagram. If your mechanical system is different than the one depicted 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 drawing. Confirm length by laying a garden hose or similar object) along cable path and measure run from wheel to engine connection point.
