Stern Drives (without hydraulic 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: Safe-T QC®, 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. 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.
TILT STEERING: You can upgrade to the comfort and convenience of Tilt steering with all Dometic systems except Capilano.
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.
