Unlike a rotary helm, the rack and pinion design suits tight installations behind the dash, and the RACKTECH10 is recommended for power assisted sterndrives and other applications with minimal rudder torque.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe package includes the M86 preassembled helm with steering cable, the G86 shaft assembly, and the X34 90 degree bezel. Steering effort is transmitted through the TM87 Rack Cable, which uses an armor wrapped stranded wire core for high efficiency and smooth steering with minimal lost motion. As with conventional rotary helms, steering loads in a rack and pinion system are transmitted to a single contact point, so the system will experience uneven wear over time the same as a rotary setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe RACKTECH10 measures 10 feet 10 inches and ships with product dimensions of 29.02 x 5 x 17.99 inches, at a package weight of 12.6
