UFlex M66X13 Universal Fast Connect Rotary Steering Cable, 13 Feet
The UFlex M66X13 is a universal rotary steering cable built for fast-connect installation on rotary helm steering systems. It transmits steering input from the helm to the outboard or sterndrive engine, and its fast-connect design lets it drop into a compatible rotary helm without extra fittings or modification. The cable terminates with stainless steel output fittings for corrosion resistance and long service life in a marine environment.
The M66X13 is the individual rotary steering cable used within UFlex Rotech-style rotary steering packages, which pair the cable with a planetary-gear helm for reduced steering effort and more balanced loads at the wheel. Some rotary helm systems, such as the T82FC, require two M66 cables working together rather than a single cable, so confirm your helm's cable requirement before ordering. This is the 13 foot length (X13) version of the M66 cable line, sold as a single cable.
