Uflex M86X19 Rack Steering Cable, 19 Feet, Replaces Teleflex SC124
The Uflex M86X19 is a rack steering cable built for boats using a rack and pinion steering system, measuring 19 feet in length. Its core is an armor wrapped stainless steel design that minimizes lost motion at the helm, giving the operator a more direct, responsive connection between the wheel and the outboard or sterndrive. The engine output fittings are made of solid stainless steel, chosen for long-term corrosion resistance and durability in a marine environment where the cable is exposed to moisture and vibration.
This cable is designed as a direct replacement for Teleflex SC124 "The Rack" steering cables, installing without adapters. That makes it a straightforward swap for boat owners replacing a worn or failed rack steering cable without having to source additional hardware. The 19 foot length suits helm-to-engine runs that call for that specific cable length; boat owners should confirm their existing cable's length before ordering to make sure the M86X19 matches their installation.
