It features the M86 cable, built with an armor wrapped stainless steel core that delivers maximum efficiency and minimal lost motion at the helm, so steering input translates directly to the drive with less play than a loosely matched cable-and-helm setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe compact design of the Racktech makes it well suited to boats with minimal clearance behind the dash, where a bulkier steering assembly will not fit. Uflex recommends the Racktech for power assisted sterndrives and other applications with minimal rudder torque, making it a fit for helm stations where reduced steering effort is already provided by power assist rather than by the mechanical advantage of the steering system itself. The package ships as a single cable rack helm with a package quantity of one and is manufactured in the United States.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e

boats is the G86 Racktech recommended for?\u003c\/strong\u003e Uflex recommends the Racktech G86 for power assisted sterndrives and other applications with minimal rudder torque, and for boats with minimal clearance behind the dash.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the G86 come with the steering cable included?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the G86 is a single cable rack helm that ships preassembled with the M86 steering cable, so no separate cable purchase is needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is special about the M86 cable used with the G86 helm?\u003c\/strong\u003e The M86 cable used in the Uflex G86 Racktech has an armor wrapped stainless steel core, which is designed to deliver maximum efficiency and minimal lost motion at the helm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the Uflex G86 weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Uflex G86 Racktech rack and pinion steering helm weighs 2.6 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the package dimensions of the G86 helm?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Uflex G86 ships in packaging measuring 10.9 cm long by 11.2 cm wide by

built for boats with minimal clearance behind the dash, making it a compact alternative for tight helm stations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy choose a rack and pinion helm like the G86 over a standard rotary steering system?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Uflex G86 Racktech uses a compact rack and pinion helm rather than a traditional rotary steering system, which is what allows it to fit installations with minimal clearance behind the dash while still being suited to power assisted sterndrives with minimal rudder torque.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the G86 helm interchangeable with a standard rotary steering cable?\u003c\/strong\u003e The G86 is part of the Racktech rack and pinion system and uses the matched M86 cable, so it is intended to be installed as the complete preassembled package rather than mixed with a different style of steering cable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere is the Uflex G86 Racktech helm made?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Uflex G86 single cable rack helm is manufactured in the United States.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the G86 helm need power assist steering to work?\u003c\/strong\u003e Uflex recommends the G86 Racktech for power assisted sterndrives and other applications with minimal rudder torque, so it is intended for use where steering effort is already reduced by power assist or low rudder torque.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Uflex","offers":[{"title":"Default
