<h3>About EZ-Steer&reg;</h3><p><strong>EZ-Steer&reg;</strong> has been a trusted name in marine steering since <a href="/12793-ez-steer-auxiliary-motor-steering-200114">auxiliary motor steering</a> was a niche problem that frustrated boaters everywhere. <a href="/12793-ez-steer">Founded in 1978</a> on Camano Island, Washington, the company set out to solve a simple but aggravating challenge: how do you steer a kicker or trolling motor from your helm without hanging over the transom? The answer became one of the most recognizable patented systems in the marine industry.</p><p>Today, EZ-Steer&reg; operates under the <strong>CMP Group</strong> — a Vancouver-based marine conglomerate whose portfolio of respected brands also includes Panther Marine, TROLLMaster, Rocna anchors, and Octopus Autopilot. This family of brands shares a common engineering philosophy: practical, durable solutions built specifically for on-the-water conditions.</p><h3>The EZ-Steer&reg; Universal Steering System</h3><p>The heart of the EZ-Steer&reg; lineup is its patented, self-adjusting telescoping rod. This clever mechanism physically links your main engine to your auxiliary outboard, allowing both to be steered simultaneously from the helm. What makes it stand out is the rod&apos;s ability to automatically change its length as the auxiliary motor is raised or lowered — no manual adjustment, no disconnecting hardware. The system is designed for auxiliary engines up to 25 horsepower and covers a wide range of engine platforms, including Mercury Alpha, Bravo, Volvo SX Cobra, OMC, and many others — even boats with swim platforms and most sailboats.</p><p>Every kit is built with corrosion resistance in mind: powder-coated stainless steel brackets, brass connectors, and a stainless steel tie-rod ensure long-term reliability in both freshwater and saltwater environments.</p><h3>EZ-Steer&reg; Product Categories</h3><p>EZ-Steer&reg;&apos;s catalog covers the full spectrum of auxiliary motor control. Their flagship <a href="/12793-ez-steer-auxiliary-motor-steering-200114">auxiliary motor steering kits</a> are the go-to choice for anglers and recreational boaters looking to control a kicker motor from the helm.
