Uflex X52 Five-Position Marine Helm Tilt Mechanism

The Uflex X52 tilt mechanism lets a boat operator adjust the steering wheel angle without replacing the compatible helm beneath it. Its 48-degree tilt range offers five locking positions, giving the helm more flexibility for seated and standing operation. The assembly is supplied with mounting hardware for installation on a supported tilt-mount steering setup. It is a helm adjustment component, not a replacement for the steering cable or hydraulic pump.

X52 works with Ultraflex tilt-mount rotary and rack-and-pinion helms, as well as compatible Ultraflex tilt-mount hydraulic pumps. It specifically excludes SilverSteer and MasterDrive steering systems, so those applications require a different solution. The five fixed positions hold the selected angle rather than relying on an unrestricted pivot. Matching the helm model before ordering is particularly important when different steering systems look similar from above the dashboard.

For a helm retrofit, check that the existing steering unit is one of the supported tilt-mount designs. Allow room for the steering wheel to move through the tilt range without contacting nearby controls or the windshield. The included mounting hardware addresses the tilt mechanism itself, while any other steering-system repairs should be evaluated separately.
