The Rack - Stern Drive Rack & Pinion Steering System - with 18 ft Cable

This back mount Rack System is the steering system to use if your single-station stern drive or outboard has power-assisted steering.
These are installations where, because of the power steering, a No FeedBack steering system* should not be used^.

"The Rack" helm incorporates a pinion gear that engages a pre-assembled rack and cable for minimized steering effort. It features the precision and comfort of four turns lock-to-lock, with a cable and helm that install easily from behind the dash.

This new version of "The Rack" replaces older 1984 - present date Teleflex "The Rack" steering without the need for any dashboard modification.

A Back Mount Rack Dual Cable (SSC135xx) is available for boats with power-assisted steering that exceed 50 mph, or experience steering instability due to engine flutter. However, if steering is not power-assisted, SeaStar Solutions recommends upgrading to an NFB 4.0 Pro Rack steering system. See Related Products. Teleflex recommends No-FeedBack steering for all dual cable steered outboards.

How to Determine the Proper Cable Length to Order —
Although cable length "formulas" are available, installations have so many individual differences that, arguably, the simplest method is to lay a garden hose (or similar object) along the route the cable will follow and measure the distance from the centerline of the steering wheel to the center of the engine connection point with the tiller centered. Order that length of cable.
