Dometic SeaStar Safe-T Quick Connect Rotary Steering Kit, SS137XX

The part that connects to the engine is a bitch to remove and replace, that would be for any brand though. My big complaint with this is the plastic tube on the helm gear box. The cable side snapped in place fine but the plastic tube side comes back out after you snap it in. I would definitely had a mechanic do this for me, but my boat is over 20 yrs old and the shops around here won't touch it. I did manage to get it done though, hopefully never again.

I bought my particular cable used for about $95, so happy with that price and there were zero issues other than a damaged box, which Amazon noted. Not so sure I would be quite so happy at $165. All of the components seem well-made. Template was spot on. I use some red Loctite to mount the actual mechanism to the bracket just to be on the safe side. No recommendation in the manual, and I don't believe the bolts were pre-coated. Nylocks are used elsewhere, and are included.I would say to be sure to note which model you have before you throw away the box, as the instructions cover multiple models, and they could be very different in terms of how you feed the cable into this. Some load from the bottom while others load from the top. I'd also like to see some better photographs, as it was not exactly crystal clear as to how this assembled, but there's lots of YouTube videos as well if you run into any difficulties. This was my first time installing a cable, so I'm sure if you've done it before it would be a piece of cake.Overall seems like a really quality product. This is one place where you don't want anything cheap, and I'm not seeing any place where they skimped on the quality. Quality throughout. I may replace the R clips with some stainless steel ones, but is zinc coated would probably be fine as most of the components are covered under a console. I'd add some extra grease to the cable end that feed in to the bezel end, and believe they recommend you do this as well.

This was a great buy for the price and worked perfect

Exact fit for my boat. Make sure you order the right size !! My boat steers like a dream now . Ready for the summer.

The media could not be loaded.  Very easy to install. I did have to modify the dash for the wheel bracket slightly enlarge circular hole.This unit was a dream come through. Finally a peace of gear that someone designed well.Installing cable and steering wheel is best accomplished with 2 people. Always run a leader when removing the old cable.I would recommend the kit. Inexpensive when it comes to typical boat parts.

My boat steering was very stiff, so stiff that the power assist would not even work. The boat is a Sea Ray 250 Sundancer with a 260 Mercruiser. The original rack style steering cable lasted since 1987. I decided to upgrade to a rotary helm after reading about the benefits and chose this product/ Installation was easy as can be! I could not get my old cable out due to the routing of it. I had to cut it! I taped a rope to the cable and pulled the cable out leaving the rope in place f the cable. I then taped the rope to the new cable and pulled it right into place. The new rotary help takes up far less space than the rack style system. The only downfall was my old steering wheel was a 4 point mount and the new stem was a 3/4 keyed style. O well, I just upgraded my steering wheel too. The system performs excellent!! Its amazing how much better the boat drives.

High quality steering kit. Great instructions and was able to convert my 1969 Larson boat from the old style and problematic pulley steering to the updated single cable steering. Boat steers great and much tighter turning radius with a lot less revolutions ofv the wheel!
