Uflex Rotary Steering System with Helm

The Uflex Rotary Steering System with Helm is a mechanical boat steering package. It gives smooth, responsive control for outboard and sterndrive boats. These rotary steering kits (also called rotary steering cable systems) use a planetary gear helm to reduce steering effort and to spread steering loads more evenly across the wheel.

Key Features:

• Planetary gear helm design: Spreads wear over a wider contact area. This reduces lost motion and improves long-term durability.
• Reduced steering effort: Distributes steering feedback more evenly through the helm, so the boat is easier to hold on course.
• Compact helm: The helm is centered on the main drive shaft. It needs less room behind the dash.
• Drop-in replacement: Designed to replace competing rotary systems without cutting new holes in the dash.
• Corrosion-resistant construction: Stainless steel cable output ends and corrosion-resistant materials suit harsh marine environments.
• Standard tapered shaft: Fits common steering wheels, which are sold separately.
• Safety standards: Uflex rotary helms are rated by the manufacturer as exceeding EN 28848 and ABYC P17 safety standards.

Uflex rotary steering systems are a popular choice for repowering and for replacing worn steering on pontoon boats, bay boats, ski boats, and other recreational and fishing boats. They are not intended for boats with engines that exceed the boat's maximum horsepower rating. For boats that run faster than 50 mph, Uflex recommends a hydraulic steering system.
