denotes Tilt Steering available for this product
Stern Drives (without power steering): SeaStar or NFB 4.2 No FeedBack Steering is recommended for non-
power-assisted stern drives and small inboards. SeaStar is recommended for all vessels using autopilots.
Inboards: Big-T®, SeaStar, SeaStar Capilano™, and SeaStar Power Steering are available for various inboard and sail
boats. SeaStar® is recommended for vessels with dual stations and those using autopilots. Big-T is the only
mechanical steering system currently offered for twin station boats. Big-T service parts are available or you
can upgrade to SeaStar.
Jet Boats: SeaStar Solutions has supplied many versions of steering for jet boats. If you are replacing jet boat
steering, please get the part number from your old cable and refer to the SeaStar Solutions catalog or contact
Technical Service for assistance.
Tilt Steering: You can upgrade to the comfort and convenience of Tilt steering with all SeaStar Solutions systems
except Capilano and Big T.
Multiple Engine Tie Bars: Installation of a new steering system may require the replacement of tie bars for dual or
triple engines. Please refer to the SeaStar Selection Guide to make sure you order the proper one.

P/A is a power-assist add-on subsystem which requires presence or purchase of a complete SeaStar steering system (SeaStar Pro
helms require use of SeaStar P/A Pro).
Please use these guides to assist in making your selection, but remember that
the recommendations are general in nature. Any boat/steering
system combination should be water-tested by the installer to ensure safe and dependable steering.
Displacement hulls do react differently than
planing hulls. As a result, the type of hull on the boat, as well as the horsepower, may affect steering system selection.
