Unlike conventional rotary helm systems, where all steering loads transmit through a single contact point and cause uneven wear, the rack and pinion design of the RackTech system distributes steering effort differently, offering a compact installation that fits behind dashboards with minimal clearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe package includes the M86 preassembled helm with an integrated steering cable, the G86 shaft assembly, and the X34 90 degree bezel, giving you the full set of components needed for installation in one system. The steering cable features an armor wrapped stainless steel core for high efficiency and minimal lost motion, delivering smooth, responsive steering feel. The RACKTECH19 is recommended for power assisted sterndrives and other applications with minimal rudder torque, and carries an OEM equivalent part number of 57024 for cross-reference purposes.\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 RACKTECH19\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSystem Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rack and Pinion Steering System\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCable Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 19 feet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCable Model:\u003c\/strong\u003e M86, preassembled with helm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCable Core:\u003c\/strong\u003e Armor wrapped stainless steel core\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShaft Assembly:\u003c\/strong\u003e G86\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBezel:\u003c\/strong\u003e X34, 90 degree\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 15.3 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended Use:\u003c\/strong\u003e Power assisted sterndrives and other applications with minimal rudder torque\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 702755019060\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eReplaces (OEM)\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e57024\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the Uflex RACKTECH19?\u003c\/strong\u003e The RACKTECH19 is a complete rack and pinion steering package from Uflex that includes the M86 preassembled helm with steering cable, the G86 shaft assembly, and the X34 90 degree bezel, with a 19 foot cable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat boats is the RACKTECH19 designed for?\u003c\/strong\u003e This rack and pinion system is designed for boats with limited space between the driver's knees and the steering helm, such as ski boats and other boats with smaller freeboard, and is recommended for power assisted sterndrives and other applications with minimal rudder torque.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long is the steering cable?\u003c\/strong\u003e The RACKTECH19 includes a 19 foot M86 steering cable with an armor wrapped stainless steel core.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the cable core made of?\u003c\/strong\u003e The M86 cable included with the RACKTECH19 has an armor wrapped stainless steel core, which is designed for high efficiency and minimal lost motion in steering.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the RACKTECH19 come as a complete kit?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the package includes the M86 preassembled helm with steering cable, the G86 shaft assembly, and the X34 90 degree bezel, so all core steering components are included in one system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the RACKTECH19 weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Uflex RACKTECH19 rack and pinion steering system weighs 15.3 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs there an OEM equivalent part number for the RACKTECH19?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the RACKTECH19 has an OEM equivalent part number of 57024.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow is a rack and pinion system different from a conventional rotary helm?\u003c\/strong\u003e In a conventional rotary helm, steering loads transmit through a single contact point, leading to uneven wear over time;
