Compatible Models
We do our best to list all compatible models. Although this may be the part you need, your exact model may not appear below.
Compatible equipment / model
- Outboard-powered boats designed for single-cable rotary mechanical steering and requiring a 12-foot cable
Product Overview
This kit is for a boat with a stiff, corroded, sloppy, or failed mechanical steering system—or for a small outboard refit where a 12-foot cable is the correct measured length. It replaces the main helm-to-engine steering components as a matched system.
Cable length is not the boat length. Measure the routing path according to marine steering instructions, including bends and engine travel, before ordering.
Key Features & Performance
- 12-foot mechanical rotary steering cable
- Rotary helm and 90-degree bezel
- 12.4-inch steering wheel
- 3/4-inch tapered helm shaft
- Complete hardware package for compatible installations
Replaces Part Numbers
- SS13712
Common Uses
- Replacing a seized or high-friction steering cable
- Correcting excessive helm play after diagnosis
- Rebuilding an older small-boat steering system
- New rigging where a 12-foot cable is correctly measured
Technical Specifications
- Product Type: Rotary mechanical boat steering kit
- Cable Length: 12 ft
- Wheel Diameter: 12.4 in
- Helm Shaft: 3/4 in tapered

Installation & Fitment
- Measure cable length using the steering-system method

Compatibility Notice
This is not hydraulic steering and is not universal for every boat or engine. Verify cable length, helm space, steering-tube condition, engine horsepower limits, bend radius, and applicable marine standards.
Northline Parts does its best to list all known compatible models, but the correct part may fit an application not shown.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is 12 feet measured by boat length? A: No. Measure the actual control-cable routing path using the manufacturer method.
Q: Can this replace hydraulic steering? A: No. It is a rotary mechanical system.
Q: Why is my old steering stiff? A: Cable corrosion, a dry or rusted engine tilt tube, helm wear, or binding routing are common causes.
Q: Should steering be tested before launching? A: Yes. Check secure fasteners and smooth full-range movement with no interference.
