Uflex M86X18 Rack Steering Cable, 18 Feet, Replaces Teleflex SC124 and Morse Command 200
The Uflex M86X18 is an 18-foot rack steering cable built for rack and pinion boat steering systems. It uses an armor wrapped stainless steel core that delivers efficient steering feel with minimal lost motion, paired with solid stainless steel engine output fittings for long-term durability and corrosion resistance. The M86X18 is designed as a direct replacement cable, installing in place of Uflex, Teleflex SC124 "The Rack", and Morse Command 200 steering cables with no adapters required, which simplifies the swap for boat owners maintaining an existing rack and pinion steering setup. Because the core is fully armored along its length, the cable resists kinking and binding while transmitting steering input smoothly from the helm to the rack. This makes it well suited to boats already fitted with a rack and pinion helm that need a like-for-like cable replacement rather than a full steering system overhaul.
