Uflex M86X20 Rack Steering Cable Assembly, 20 Foot, Replaces Teleflex SC124

The Uflex M86X20 is a preassembled rack and pinion steering cable built for boats that need a compact, low-clearance steering solution behind the dash. It is part of the Racktech rack and pinion steering package and is recommended for power assisted sterndrives and other applications with minimal rudder torque. This cable directly replaces Teleflex SC124 "The Rack" and Morse Command 200 steering cables with no adapters required, making it a straightforward swap for boats already running one of those systems.

The M86 cable is built around an armor wrapped stainless steel core that delivers efficient steering feel with minimal lost motion, so helm input translates to rudder movement without excess play. Solid stainless steel engine output fittings are used at the connection points for enhanced longevity and durability in the marine environment. The cable measures 20 feet in length, sized for boats where routing distance and minimal dash clearance are key installation considerations.
