SEASTAR SOLUTIONS XTREME NFB Steering Kit

XTREME™ No FeedBack Mechanical Steering Systems minimize the effect of engine torque and backlash for smooth, nearly effortless boat handling.

Spending your boating day fighting engine torque is no fun. Seastar Solutions eliminates this problem with easy-to-install XTREME™ No FeedBack Mechanical Steering Systems that combine their XTREME™ cable design with a helm that features high-efficiency gearing and an improved No FeedBack (NFB) clutch. This system is especially beneficial for boats with higher horsepower engines or hulls with large wetted surfaces.

System Overview

XTREME™ cables feature splined ridges on the inner liner that reduce internal friction, allow for a tighter fit to minimize lost motion and extend cable life. Cables are combined with the XTREME™ helm, which provides an enhanced level of feel and lower effort at the wheel. The helm boasts an improved No Feedback (NFB) clutch mechanism with a smooth release that minimizes the effects of engine torque and reduces backlash. Compact Zamac housing and new style bezel offer reduced weight, superior strength and, with a smaller footprint than previous Teleflex helms, simplifies upgrading existing systems to this latest design.

The XTREME™ steering system offered here is the standard, fixed helm design. For added comfort, conveneince and control, the XTREME™ helm is also available as a tilt helm, with 48° articulation and five positive lock positions to ensure maximum comfort and control whether seated while cruising or when standing during close maneuvers or docking.
