Sea-Doo Steering Cable RXT / RXT-X / Wake – OEM 277001438 / 277001578 / 277001555 (2002–2014)

Overview

The steering cable is the direct mechanical link between your handlebars and the propulsion nozzle. On Sea-Doo models with Rotax 4-Tec and DI (Direct Injection) engines, this cable is subjected to significant stress: torsion, vibrations, exposure to saltwater, and UV rays. A faulty cable results in stiff, imprecise, or locked steering—a dangerous situation at high speed.

This replacement cable is designed for the GTX DI, GTX 4-Tec, RXT, and Wake series from 2002 to 2014. It directly replaces Bombardier OEM part numbers 277001438, 277001578, and 277001555, with direct installation requiring no modifications.
