Ezy-Glide Ezy-Stik III Mechanical Marine Steering System - Complete Stick Steering Kit, Available in 10' to 15' Cable Lengths
The Ezy-Glide Ezy-Stik III is a complete mechanical stick-steering system for outboard and jet-drive boats, engineered as a direct, cable-driven alternative to hydraulic steering. Each kit ships as a ready-to-install package built around the Ezy-Stik III steering head and a dedicated push-pull steering cable, sized to match the distance between your helm position and outboard engine. Because boat layouts vary widely, Ezy-Glide offers this system in eleven cable lengths from 10 feet up to 15 feet, so you can order the exact fit for your hull rather than trimming or splicing a generic cable.
Mechanical stick steering is popular on center consoles, bay boats, and small-to-mid outboard rigs because it delivers direct feedback, requires no hydraulic fluid or pump, and is straightforward to service. The Ezy-Stik III system is rated for outboards up to 70 HP (and up to 90 HP jet drives on select cable lengths), making it a solid retrofit or repower option for boaters replacing a worn cable steering setup or converting from wheel to stick steering.

Sizes & Options
Selecting the right Ezy-Stik III kit comes down to one measurement: the cable run length between your intended stick-steering mounting location and the outboard's steering arm, following the actual routing path through the hull (not a straight-line distance). Measure along the planned conduit route, add any manufacturer-recommended service allowance, and choose the closest cable length at or slightly above that measurement -- 10, 10.5, 11, 11.5, 12, 12.5, 13, 13.5, 14, 14.5, or 15 feet. A cable that is too short will not reach; a longer cable can be routed with a gentle service loop, so when in doubt, size up rather than down. If your engine exceeds 70 HP or you are unsure about jet-drive compatibility, confirm horsepower and drive type before ordering, since this system is not rated for larger outboards or all jet applications.
