Uflex TM87 17-Foot Rack and Pinion Steering System

For a mechanical steering installation requiring a 17-foot cable, the Uflex TM87 provides a G87 front-mount helm, TM87XLL rack-and-pinion cable, and X34 bezel in one package. The system is designed around a measured helm-to-engine route rather than straight-line distance.

Corrosion-resistant materials and stainless-steel cable output ends support marine service. The helm uses a standard 3/4-inch tapered steering shaft, the cable provides a 3.7-inch stroke, and the system is designed for approximately 3.3 steering-wheel turns from lock to lock. Supported compatibility with specified competing cables and helm patterns can also simplify certain replacement installations.

Select this 17-foot version only after measuring the actual cable path, including bends and service allowance. Confirm the engine attachment, helm pattern, available dash space, and 7.9-inch minimum bend radius before mounting. The finished installation should move smoothly from lock to lock without binding.
