Uflex HYTECH 1.1 Front Mount Hydraulic Outboard Steering System for 175 HP and Less

The Uflex HYTECH 1.1 is a complete front mount hydraulic steering system built for outboard engines rated 175 HP and less. It is designed to work with the HK4200a - BayStar helm, giving outboard boat owners a hydraulic steering setup without the heavy effort of a mechanical cable system. The package brings together the core components needed for a front mount installation: a UP20 FM helm pump, a UC95-OBF hydraulic cylinder, 40 feet of hydraulic tubing, and 2 quarts of steering fluid, so the major hardware for the run is included in one system rather than sourced piece by piece.

Front mount hydraulic steering positions the cylinder at the front of the outboard, which is the standard mounting configuration for this HYTECH 1.1 system (as opposed to the tilt mount arrangement used on the related HYTECH 1.1T). The system is constructed with plastic components and is intended for single outboard engine installations up to 175 HP. Because it is a hydraulic system, it delivers smoother, lower-effort steering feel at the helm compared to mechanical steering cables, and the 40 foot tubing run supports a range of helm-to-engine distances on typical outboard boats.
