Uflex TM87 17-Foot Rack and Pinion Steering System

The Uflex TM87OX17 is the 17-foot version of the TM87 rack-and-pinion steering package, combining a G87 front-mount helm, TM87XLL steering cable, and X34 bezel. It is intended for boats where the actual routed distance from helm to engine requires the 17-foot cable.

A 3.7 in cable stroke translates helm movement into steering travel, and the system is designed for approximately 3.3 wheel turns from lock to lock. The helm uses a common 3/4 in tapered shaft, while stainless-steel cable output ends and corrosion-resistant materials are suited to marine installations.

Confirm fit by measuring the route the cable will actually follow, including the turns behind the dash and along the hull. Check the engine connection and available mounting space, avoid bends tighter than 7.9 in, and test the wheel through its complete range after the rack and cable are secured.
