Uflex TM87 20-Foot Rack and Pinion Steering System

The Uflex TM87 20-foot rack-and-pinion steering system packages the main mechanical steering components for boats whose measured cable route calls for a 20-foot run. It combines a G87 front-mount helm, 20-foot TM87XLL steering cable, and X34 mounting bezel so the helm, cable, and dash trim are supplied as a matched setup.

The steering hardware uses corrosion-resistant materials with stainless-steel cable output ends. A 3/4-inch tapered shaft accepts compatible steering wheels, while the 3.7-inch cable stroke and roughly 3.3 turns lock-to-lock define the system's steering travel. The TM87 is also designed around commonly used helm and cable patterns for supported replacement work.

The 20-foot cable length should match the complete routed path from helm to engine. Allow for bends, keep the cable within the specified 7.9-inch minimum radius, and confirm steering-system and engine compatibility before installation. Test the complete steering travel after the cable and helm are secured.
