Uflex PROTECH 1.1 Front Mount Outboard Hydraulic Steering System with UC128-OBF/1 Cylinder

The Uflex PROTECH 1.1 is a front mount hydraulic steering package built for single-outboard boats. The system pairs a front mount helm pump with the UC128-OBF/1 hydraulic cylinder and ships with 2 quarts of hydraulic oil to charge the system. Hoses are not included with the PROTECH 1.1; an optional hose kit with preassembled fittings is available separately and length must be specified when ordering.

Durability and performance define the PROTECH 1.1 package. The helm shaft is stainless steel and is fitted with heavy duty shaft seals, while the cylinder uses a carbon steel piston for peak performance. The link assemblies are 304 electropolished and passivated stainless steel, chosen for long-term corrosion resistance in a marine environment. Adjustable boss style fittings allow precise hose routing without the risk of breaking the fittings from over-tightening, simplifying installation and future service.

The PROTECH 1.1 is the single-cylinder configuration in the PROTECH front mount outboard steering lineup, sized for one outboard engine. Larger multi-engine setups use the same helm pump with additional cylinders in the PROTECH 2.1 and PROTECH 3.1 packages.
