Teleflex Steering & Controls

Teleflex Marine: Decades of Precision on the Water

Teleflex Marine has been synonymous with reliable marine control and steering since its founding in 1943 in Litchfield, Illinois. For generations of boaters, the Teleflex name has represented engineering precision, durability, and confidence at the helm — whether docking a center console or pushing a performance boat to its limits. Now operating under the SeaStar Solutions brand (part of the Dometic Group since 2017), Teleflex products continue to be manufactured to the same exacting standards that built the brand's legendary reputation.

Teleflex built its legacy by being the go-to source for steering parts and accessories across virtually every segment of recreational and commercial boating. From helm units and tilt tubes to tie bars and steering wheels, the breadth of their steering lineup is unmatched in the marine industry. Boaters trust Teleflex components to deliver consistent, responsive feedback in conditions that range from glassy inland lakes to demanding offshore swells.

At the core of the Teleflex catalog are replacement cables engineered to meet or exceed original equipment specifications. Teleflex cables are built with chemical-resistant casing and feature patented "Quick Connect" hook-ups that make installation straightforward — no special tools required. Whether you're replacing worn rotary steering cables or refreshing a push-pull mechanical system, Teleflex offers direct-fit options compatible with leading engine brands including Mercury, Johnson, and MerCruiser.

For larger vessels and high-horsepower applications, hydraulic steering from Teleflex delivers the smooth, effortless helm feel that mechanical systems simply can't match. Using fluid pressure to transmit steering input from the helm to the engine or rudder, hydraulic systems reduce operator fatigue, eliminate cable slack, and handle high rudder torque with ease. Teleflex hydraulic systems — including the iconic BayStar and SeaStar lineups — are available in configurations for single or multi-station setups.

Complementing the steering hardware, Teleflex control boxes and parts give operators precise command over throttle and shift functions. These components are designed for seamless integration with Teleflex cables and steering systems, ensuring a cohesive, well-matched control experience from helm to engine. Rounding out the lineup, utility cables handle a range of specialized onboard applications, offering the same robust construction and marine-grade materials found throughout the Teleflex product family.
