What is the Ezy-Glide Ezy-Stik II steering system?

It is a mechanical single-lever steering system that replaces a traditional wheel and helm, using a stick lever, a one-piece stainless steel drive spool, and a high-impact composite housing mounted at the transom.

How do I pick the right cable length?

Measure the actual cable routing distance from your planned lever mounting position to the outboard's steering arm, following the path the cable will take, then choose the closest length from 8 to 15 feet that is equal to or slightly longer than that measurement.

What is the maximum horsepower this system supports?

The Ezy-Stik II is rated for outboard engines up to 70 horsepower or jet drives up to 90 horsepower, regardless of which cable length you select.

Does the system include the steering cable?

Yes, every Ezy-Stik II system ships complete with a pre-terminated steering cable in the length you select, ready to connect between the lever housing and the outboard.

What is the steering ratio and how far does the lever travel?

The steering ratio is 6.4 to 1, and the lever has a total movement of 58 inches across 206 degrees, with a 6 inch lever length, the same across all cable-length options.

How much does the steering system weigh?

The complete system weighs 11 pounds, with weight essentially unchanged across the different cable-length versions.

What is the system made of?

The drive spool is one-piece stainless steel, housed in a high-impact plastic/composite case designed for transom mounting.

Can this replace a wheel-and-helm steering setup?

Yes, the Ezy-Stik II is designed as a direct mechanical replacement for a wheel and helm, freeing up console space and letting the operator sit further forward for improved visibility.

What if my routing distance falls between two available lengths?

Round up to the next available cable length; a longer cable can be dressed with a service loop, while a cable that is too short will not reach the outboard.
