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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDurability 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Uflex\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e PROTECH 1.1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Front Mount Outboard Hydraulic Steering System\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded Cylinder:\u003c\/strong\u003e UC128-OBF\/1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHydraulic Oil Included:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 quarts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelm Shaft Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stainless steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePiston Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Carbon steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLink Assembly Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e 304 electropolished and passivated stainless steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Adjustable boss style\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHoses:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sold separately; optional hose kit with preassembled fittings, length specified at order\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 28.4 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e approximately 23 inches L x 11 inches W x 8 inches H\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for single-outboard installations using a front mount helm pump configuration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eReplaces (OEM)\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo OEM cross-reference numbers are published for this part.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is included with the Uflex PROTECH 1.1?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Uflex PROTECH 1.1 package includes a front mount helm pump, a UC128-OBF\/1 hydraulic cylinder, and 2 quarts of hydraulic oil.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the PROTECH 1.1 come with hydraulic hoses?\u003c\/strong\u003e No, hoses are not included with the PROTECH 1.1.
