Uflex ROTECH12FC Rotech Rotary Steering System, 12 Foot Cable

The Uflex ROTECH12FC Rotech Rotary Steering System is a complete boat steering kit built around the T71FC helm with a planetary gear design. This gear design reduces steering effort and delivers more balanced loads on the steering wheel compared to standard rotary helms. A wider wear area at the gear interface reduces lost motion over time and improves long-term durability, so the wheel stays responsive as the system ages.

The helm is centered on the main drive shaft, which means it requires less room behind the dash than offset designs and installs as a direct drop-in replacement for a competing rotary system, with no new holes needed in the dash. The kit pairs the helm with the M66 universal rotary steering cable, which uses stainless steel output fittings for long-term corrosion resistance and smooth, consistent steering feel. A 90 degree bezel (X34) is included to complete the dash-side installation.

This is a universal-fit boat steering system supplied as a complete package rather than an individual component, so everything needed for a rotary steering installation is included in one kit.
