Ezy-Glide 840-0800 Ezy-Stik II Mechanical Stick Steering System 8'

The Ezy-Stik II Model 840 by Ezy-Glide is the classic stick steering system and the standard for convenience, designed to position the operator in the front of the boat for better visibility and control. This complete steering kit features a one-piece stainless steel drive spool encased in a composite high-impact housing, providing a durable single-lever steering platform for today's fishermen.

Key Features:

• Slower ratio provides added mechanical advantage needed for higher horsepower engines and 4-stroke engines
• Maximum horsepower rating of 70hp outboard / 90hp jet drive
• Total lever movement: 58 inches / 206 degrees
• Gear ratio: 6.4:1
• 8-foot push-pull cable included for complete installation
• Standard 16-inch lever length (20-inch option available separately)
• Designed for port-side mounting only
• Meets or exceeds NMMA/ABYC standards

Complete System Includes:

• Helm assembly with stainless steel drive spool
• 8-foot steering cable
• 16-inch control lever
• All necessary mounting hardware
• Protective dress cover

The Model 840-0800 with 8-foot cable is ideal for boats requiring this specific reach. The slower steering ratio compared to the Model 870 makes this system particularly well-suited for higher horsepower 2-stroke engines and any 4-stroke outboard, reducing operator fatigue by minimizing torque feedback. Ezy-Glide recommends using 80 Below Action Lube for optimal performance and longevity.
