Uflex G87 Rack and Pinion Front Mount Helm

The Uflex G87 front-mount helm is the core rack-and-pinion steering unit used in compatible high-efficiency mechanical steering systems. It gives a 3.7-inch cable stroke and approximately 3.3 turns lock-to-lock, translating steering-wheel rotation into controlled rack movement for the matched cable.

Corrosion-resistant materials, stainless-steel cable output components, and a standard 3/4-inch tapered shaft support marine service. The G87 is compatible with specified SSC134, SSC135, and SSC154 cables and the listed competing helm pattern, helping with supported replacement installations.

Confirm steering-cable compatibility, dashboard mounting pattern, shaft connection, available clearance, engine application, and the boat manufacturer's horsepower rating before installation. Use the correct bezel and related steering hardware, route the cable within its bend limits, and verify smooth unrestricted lock-to-lock movement before operating the boat.

• The helm converts wheel rotation into cable movement for the steering linkage.
• Compact construction helps manage behind-dash clearance.
• Protected materials support long-term helm service.
• Correct cable, bezel, shaft, and engine fitment are essential for safe operation.
