Uflex M66X15 Rotary Steering Cable, 15 Feet, Replaces SSC6200, SSC6300, 290
The Uflex M66X15 is a 15 foot universal rotary replacement steering cable designed to work with rotary (mechanical) boat steering helms, including the Uflex Rotech T71FC planetary gear helm system. It is built as a direct drop-in replacement for SSC6200, SSC6300, and 290 steering cables, requiring no adapters and no new mounting holes during installation. The cable terminates in solid stainless steel output fittings, chosen for enhanced longevity and durability against marine corrosion, and delivers the smooth, consistent steering feel expected from a Uflex rotary system.
This cable connects the helm to the outboard or sterndrive engine, translating wheel input into steering motion. Because it is a rotary-type cable, it is intended for helms built around a rotary/planetary gear drive rather than a rack style system. Buyers using a Uflex T82FC helm system should note that configuration requires two M66 cables rather than one.
