Ezy-Glide

<h3>About Ezy-Glide</h3><p><strong>Ezy-Glide, Inc.</strong> has been a dedicated force in the marine steering industry since 1981, building a reputation for reliable, high-quality mechanical and hydraulic steering solutions for small to medium-sized vessels. Over more than four decades, the brand has become a go-to name among fishing boat owners, aluminum skiff operators, and boating enthusiasts who demand confident, responsive control on the water.</p><p>At the heart of the Ezy-Glide lineup are the iconic Ezy-Stik® stick steering systems — the Ezy-Stik® II Model 840 and the Ezy-Stik® III Model 870. Both are purpose-built to allow the operator to position themselves at the front of the boat for improved visibility and control. The Model 840 is favored for higher-horsepower and 4-stroke engines thanks to its slower turning ratio and added mechanical advantage, while the Model 870 delivers a quicker lock-to-lock response for those wanting faster handling. Both systems are rated for outboard engines up to 70 HP and jet drives up to 90 HP, and every product in the Ezy-Glide catalog meets or exceeds NMMA, ABYC, and BIA industry standards.</p><p>For boaters who want the simplicity of stick steering with modern hydraulic performance, Ezy-Glide offers the HydraStik®, HydraGlide®, and SideKick® hydraulic steering systems. These hydraulic options provide reduced steering effort and eliminate feedback from the engine — ideal for larger or more powerful outboards where a purely mechanical system may feel stiff or imprecise.</p><p>One of Ezy-Glide&apos;s most practical strengths is their comprehensive selection of utility cables and replacement components. Steering cables are manufactured to virtually any length needed, available in half-foot increments, so boaters can get an exact fit for their specific hull layout. This custom-cable capability sets Ezy-Glide apart from brands offering only fixed-length options. Cables are compatible across the Ezy-Stik® II 830, 840, and III 870 systems.</p><p>Beyond complete systems and cables, Ezy-Glide supports boaters with a full range of steering parts and accessories — from replacement helms and levers to dress covers, ball knobs, and the Rigger&apos;s Pal mounting bracket. The brand even offers its proprietary 80 Below® Action Lube, specifically formulated for optimal Ezy-Stik® performance in cold-weather conditions. For customers seeking a <a href="/13303-ezy-glide-steering-stabilizer-14555">steering stabilizer</a> to complement their system, Ezy-Glide has options to help smooth out feedback and improve overall handling feel.</p><p>With a one-year warranty on mechanical steering products and accessories, and a three-year warranty on hydraulic systems, Ezy-Glide stands behind the durability of every product they manufacture. Whether you&apos;re rigging a new aluminum fishing boat or refreshing an older vessel&apos;s helm setup, Ezy-Glide delivers the focused expertise of a brand that has done one thing — marine steering — exceptionally well for over 40 years.</p>
