Uflex M90X13 Mach Rotary Steering Cable, Stainless Steel Engine-Side Fitting
The Uflex M90X13 is a Mach series rotary steering cable built for boats using a rotary (rack-and-pinion style) helm system. The cable transmits helm input to the outboard or sterndrive engine, and this model is engineered to keep steering response tight and predictable while resisting the corrosion that marine environments cause over time. The engine-side output fitting is stainless steel and uses a patented gasket design at the cable output end, which supports a fast-connect, simple installation at the engine end of the run.
Uflex designed the Mach cable line to minimize feedback at the helm, so the driver feels less kickback and vibration through the wheel at speed. The overall construction uses corrosion-resistant materials throughout the cable assembly, which helps the steering system maintain smooth, consistent operation over repeated exposure to saltwater and marine air. As with any rotary steering cable, the run should avoid excessive or tight bends to preserve handling feel and reduce mechanical inefficiency in the system, and the end fittings and engine-side cable support should be cleaned and greased periodically per the engine manufacturer's maintenance schedule to minimize wear and corrosion.
