Dometic SeaStar Safe-T QC Steering Kit 8′ STR-SS13708

Dometic SeaStar SS13708 is an 8-foot Safe-T QC mechanical rotary steering kit for single-station marine steering systems. Dometic identifies it as a Quick Connect, 8′ steering kit in the Safe-T QC family, built for sterndrives, inboards, and other power-assisted applications where No FeedBack steering is not required.

Engine Compatibility

This is not an engine-specific part. SS13708 is a mechanical steering kit matched by boat steering layout, helm type, station count, and cable length, not by engine make or serial number. The strongest supportable application is single-station, power-assisted sterndrive and inboard steering systems using the Safe-T QC mechanical setup.

Serial Number Fitment Notice

Match this kit by steering application and cable length rather than by engine serial number. The key checks are whether the boat uses a single-station mechanical steering system, whether 8 feet is the correct cable length, and whether the helm application fits the Safe-T QC system.

When This Part Needs Replacement

This kit is commonly replaced when the existing helm and cable are stiff, rough, loose, or worn, or when an older mechanical steering system is being renewed as a complete package. It is also a practical replacement when updating an older Safe-T style setup to the Quick Connect version. This is a service-based inference supported by Dometic’s positioning of the kit as a complete steering package.

Installation Notes

Confirm the required steering-cable length before ordering. Current references show the kit uses SH5094-1P helm, SB27484P 90 bezel kit, and SSC6208 steering cable, with a no-tools-required cable connection at the helm for simpler installation.

Alternate/Superseded Part Numbers

Current Dometic references show SS13708 as the legacy factory item number and 9130005902 as the current Dometic article number for this same steering kit. Related dealer shorthand may also appear as SS-137-8 or 1-SS13708.

Parts Desk Insight

With steering kits, the most important match is the cable length and helm style. Confirming the steering run before ordering usually prevents most installation issues, especially on replacement jobs where the old kit may not have been the correct length to begin with.
