Uflex M86X16 Rack Steering Cable, 16 Feet, Replaces Teleflex SC124 The Rack
The Uflex M86X16 is a 16 foot rack steering cable built around an armor wrapped stainless steel core for minimal lost motion and efficient power transfer at the helm. It is designed as a direct replacement for Teleflex SC124 "The Rack" and Morse Command 200 steering cables, installing with no adapters required. Solid stainless steel engine output fittings are used at the connection points for enhanced longevity and durability in the marine environment.
This cable is intended for use with rack and pinion steering systems, including compact installations where clearance behind the dash is limited. It is well suited to power assisted sterndrives and other applications with minimal rudder torque, where the rack style cable design keeps steering effort low. The armor wrapping over the stainless steel core protects against kinking and wear while maintaining smooth, consistent cable travel over the full 16 foot length.
