A steering system for a boat, comprising a steering unit, at least one push-pull control cable and a pinion-rack unit. The pinion-rack unit has a rack casing having at least one inner cable guiding portion along at least one side wall thereof, a cable guide for outwardly guiding smoothly an inner cable of the push-pull control cable from the inner cable guiding portion, an end portion of the inner cable connected with the end portion of the rack, and a pinion meshed with the rack. The steering system can be easily mounted on a boat, does not require a wide space for mounting and for arranging a push-pull control cable, and can be applied to several types of boats, e.g. a boat which has two or more operator's seats.
