Uflex RACKTECH19 RackTech Rack and Pinion Steering System with 19-Foot M86 Cable, OEM 57024 Equivalent

The Uflex RACKTECH19 is a complete RackTech rack and pinion steering package built for boats where space between the driver's knees and the steering helm is limited, such as ski boats and other boats with smaller freeboard. 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.

The 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.
