Uflex FOURTECHBLK12 ZTF 12 Foot Black Rotary Steering Cable System

The Uflex FOURTECHBLK12 ZTF is a 12 foot rotary steering cable system finished in black, built for boats equipped with mechanical rotary steering helms. As a rotary steering system, it transmits the turning motion from the helm at the console directly to the outboard or sterndrive engine, giving the operator direct mechanical control over the boat's direction. The cable is supplied as a complete system under this single part number, making it a straightforward drop-in for boat builders and owners replacing or installing a rotary-style steering run of this length. At 17 pounds, it is built to the weight expected of a full-length steering cable assembly rather than a lightweight replacement part. The black finish is a factory characteristic of this specific unit, distinguishing it from other length or color variants Uflex offers in the ZTF rotary line. Because rotary steering cables are ordered to a specific length to match the physical run between the helm and the engine, confirming the 12 foot length against the existing cable run or the boat's steering specification is an important step before ordering. This listing corresponds to UPC 702755054436, which can be used to verify an exact match when cross-checking against a parts catalog or point-of-sale system.
