• Long threaded ends (3/8"-24 thread) that can be cut to the exact length required for a custom fit
• Zinc plated steel finish provides corrosion resistance, ideal for freshwater applications
• 24" overall length accommodates a wide range of motor spacing configurations

This connector rod is also commonly referred to as a tie bar or link arm and is a popular replacement or upgrade component for Panther auxiliary motor steering kits. The threaded ends accept standard 3/8"-24 quick disconnect assemblies and ball studs, making it easy to integrate into existing Panther or compatible steering setups. Best suited for freshwater use due to the zinc plated finish.
