EZ-Steer®

<h3>About EZ-Steer&reg;: Trusted Marine Steering Innovation Since 1978</h3><p><strong>EZ-Steer&reg;</strong> is a flagship marine brand under the <a href="/12793-ez-steer">CMP Group</a>, a Vancouver-based company with deep roots in the global marine industry. EZ-Steer has been dedicated to making boating easier and more enjoyable since 1978, and that mission remains at the heart of every product they design. CMP&apos;s respected family of brands includes Panther, Dock Edge+, Rocna &amp; Vulcan anchors, Titan Marine, Octopus Autopilot, TROLLMaster, and EZ-Steer — making it one of the most comprehensive marine product groups in the industry.</p><h3>The EZ-Steer Universal Steering System</h3><p>At the core of the EZ-Steer lineup is its patented auxiliary outboard steering system. These connector kits link your main engine to your auxiliary trolling motor, letting you troll using your regular steering wheel for control, and are designed for auxiliary engines up to 25 HP, with a kit to fit every outboard and outdrive engine. The secret to the system&apos;s performance is its clever self-adjusting mechanism: the EZ-Steer system uses a patented self-adjusting rod that steers the auxiliary outboard motor from the main wheel, self-adjusting by using the built-in turn stops on the engines.</p><p>The EZ-Steer Universal Kit consolidates over 1,000 SKU combinations into a streamlined, easy-to-choose product line. Available in three versatile auxiliary offsets — 3&quot;, 4&quot;, and 7&quot; — and covering a range of center-to-center distances, the system ensures compatibility with nearly every outboard and sterndrive application. Whether you run a dedicated fishing rig, a coastal cruiser, or even a sailboat, there&apos;s an EZ-Steer kit engineered for your setup.</p><h3>Why Boaters Choose EZ-Steer&reg;</h3><p>Beyond sheer compatibility, EZ-Steer&reg; stands out for its focus on safety and practicality on the water. Whether you&apos;re trolling, docking, or simply cruising, the system maintains an unrestricted forward view, giving you full control and peace of mind. It allows you to pilot your kicker motor without being stuck in the back of the boat hanging over the transom to steer — and it keeps you out of the way of the fishing action.</p><p>The product line extends well beyond complete kits. EZ-Steer also offers individual <a href="/12793-ez-steer-steering-stabilizer-14555">steering stabilizer</a> components including connector rods, stainless steel brackets, ball joints, restrictor cord kits, and fittings — giving boaters the flexibility to replace, upgrade, or customize their setup without purchasing an entirely new system. All brackets are stainless steel and powder coated, designed for easy plug-and-play installation, with quick connectors that are sturdy and reliable — and they&apos;re perfect for both fresh and saltwater applications, and compatible with 2- or 4-stroke engines.</p><h3>Part of a Proven Marine Ecosystem</h3><p>Together with TROLLMaster and Panther Marine, EZ-Steer forms an ultimate trio in marine steering and controls — bringing together the best to make sure you have the best time on the water. For anglers and recreational boaters who demand confident, effortless boat handling, EZ-Steer&reg; remains the benchmark for auxiliary outboard steering systems.</p>

Product Details

The EZ-Steer EZ18710 Restricting Tether is a safety accessory designed to prevent the steering rod from over-extending during operation, ensuring that the two halves remain securely connected. This restrictor cord is specifically engineered for 4-stroke auxiliary motor applications where heavier motor weight can cause the EZ-Steer adjustable rod to separate during sharp turns.

Key Features:

  • Prevents steering rod separation on sharp turns away from the kicker motor
  • Essential for heavier 4-stroke auxiliary motors that can overcome detente tension
  • Keeps auxiliary motor from locking over to the outside
  • Durable bungee-style construction allows for motor tilting while maintaining restriction
  • Easy installation on existing EZ-Steer systems

This restricting tether is particularly important when using 4-stroke kicker motors, which tend to be heavier than 2-stroke models. During aggressive steering maneuvers, the additional weight can cause the self-adjusting steering rod to extend beyond safe limits. The EZ18710 restrictor cord provides an additional layer of security, preventing disconnection and maintaining steering control of both main and auxiliary engines simultaneously.

Fast and easy. Good prices

Autoplicity was easy to use, low price and received the product very quickly. It arrived in excellent condition and was as described. I would buy from them again.

I ordered the Truxport tonneau cover for my Nissan Frontier. I am very happy with Autoplicity,they have the best price by far on this product,and they promptly sent me an email when it was shipped.....the ONLY thing I wish they would have done but didn't is to include a tracking number. I think the reason they didn't include it is that it was shipped directly from the manufacturer,but they did give me the tracking number when I called and asked for it. Overall a very positive experience

Ordered a K&N cold air intake for my 2010 ford focus in hopes to add a little horsepower and mpg. Well, autoplicity has great customer service and my part arrived exactly when it was supposed to. Very pleased with autoplicity, will be going back for my future purchases, you can't beat their prices and service!
