It is supplied with the UC128-OBF\/3 cylinder configuration, distinguishing it from the PROTECH 1.1 (UC128-OBF\/1 cylinder) and PROTECH 2.1 (UC128-OBF\/2 cylinder) in the same line. Engine type must be specified when ordering so the correct cylinder configuration is supplied.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConstruction is focused on longevity and consistent performance under load. The helm shaft is stainless steel and is fitted with heavy duty shaft seals to resist leakage and wear over time. The piston is carbon steel, and the link assemblies are 304 stainless steel that has been electropolished and passivated for corrosion resistance. Hose routing is handled through adjustable boss style fittings, which allow the hose position to be set precisely without the risk of breaking a fitting from over-tightening during installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs a component of a packaged hydraulic steering system, the PROTECH 3.1 is intended to be completed with hydraulic oil (2 quarts) and, if needed, a hose kit with preassembled fittings available in a length specified at the time of ordering.\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 3.1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Front Mount Outboard Hydraulic Steering Cylinder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCylinder Model:\u003c\/strong\u003e UC128-OBF\/3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting Style:\u003c\/strong\u003e Front mount\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\u003eFittings:\u003c\/strong\u003e Adjustable boss style fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 28.6 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 702755053057\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the Uflex PROTECH 3.1?\u003c\/strong\u003e The PROTECH 3.1 is a front mount outboard hydraulic steering cylinder from Uflex's Protech steering package, supplied with the UC128-OBF\/3 cylinder configuration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow is the PROTECH 3.1 different from the PROTECH 1.1 or 2.1?\u003c\/strong\u003e All three share the same Protech front mount outboard design, but the cylinder configuration differs: PROTECH 1.1 uses a UC128-OBF\/1 cylinder, PROTECH 2.1 uses a UC128-OBF\/2 cylinder, and PROTECH 3.1 uses a UC128-OBF\/3 cylinder.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat materials is the PROTECH 3.1 made from?\u003c\/strong\u003e It has a stainless steel helm shaft, heavy duty shaft seals, a carbon steel piston, and link assemblies made from 304 stainless steel that is electropolished and passivated.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo I need to specify anything when ordering the PROTECH 3.1?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, engine type must be specified when ordering the PROTECH 3.1 so the correct UC128-OBF\/3 cylinder setup is matched to the application.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the PROTECH 3.1 include hydraulic oil?\u003c\/strong\u003e Hydraulic oil is offered separately in 2 quart quantities to fill the Protech steering system that the PROTECH 3.1 cylinder is part of.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs a hose kit included with the PROTECH 3.1?\u003c\/strong\u003e A hose kit with preassembled fittings is available as an optional accessory for the Protech system, with the length specified at the time of ordering; it is not built into the PROTECH 3.1 cylinder itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the PROTECH 3.1 weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Uflex PROTECH 3.1 weighs 28.6 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat type of fittings does the PROTECH 3.1 use?\u003c\/strong\u003e It uses adjustable boss style fittings, which allow precise hose routing and reduce the risk of a fitting breaking from over-tightening during installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the PROTECH 3.1 designed for inboard or outboard applications?\u003c\/strong\u003e The PROTECH 3.1 is a front mount outboard cylinder, built specifically for outboard steering applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the UPC for the Uflex PROTECH 3.1?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Uflex PROTECH 3.1 front mount outboard steering cylinder carries UPC 702755053057.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Uflex","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48991108759771,"sku":"UFX-PROTECH 3.1","price":1542.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/Uflex-ProTech-Hydraulic-Steering-System__69349.1739476157.500.750.jpg?v=1785188073","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/uflex-protech-3-1-front-mount-outboard-hydraulic-steering-system-with-uc128-obf-3-cylinder","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
