{"product_id":"uflex-rotech17fc-rotech-rotary-steering-system-17ft-planetary-gear-helm-bezel-and-cable-kit","title":"Uflex Rotech Rotary Steering System, 17 Foot Cable, ROTECH17FC","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Uflex Rotech ROTECH17FC is a complete rotary steering system built around the T71FC helm's planetary gear design, which reduces steering effort and delivers more balanced loads on the steering wheel. The helm uses a wider wear area than conventional rotary units, which cuts down on lost motion at the wheel and improves long-term durability. Because the gearing is centered on the main drive shaft, the T71FC requires less room behind the dash than many competing helms, and it is engineered as a direct drop-in replacement for competing rotary steering systems, so no new mounting holes are needed during installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe kit is a full package rather than a single component: it includes the T71FC helm, the X34 90 degree bezel, and the M66 universal rotary steering cable. The M66 cable is fitted with stainless steel output fittings for maximum longevity and smooth, consistent steering feel over time. The cable measures 17 feet, making this system suited to boats where that cable length matches the run from helm to outboard or sterndrive steering arm. The system is made in the USA.\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 ROTECH17FC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rotary Steering System\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCable Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 17 feet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 29.3 x 18.4 x 7.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 14.8 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Beige\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Plastic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of Origin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Made in the USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded Components:\u003c\/strong\u003e T71FC helm, X34 90 degree bezel, M66 rotary steering cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 702755019794\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is included in the Uflex ROTECH17FC kit?\u003c\/strong\u003e The ROTECH17FC kit includes three components: the T71FC helm, the X34 90 degree bezel, and the M66 universal rotary steering cable, giving a complete steering system in one package.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long is the steering cable on the ROTECH17FC?\u003c\/strong\u003e The M66 cable included with the Uflex ROTECH17FC measures 17 feet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill the ROTECH17FC fit in the space behind my dash?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, because the T71FC helm's gearing is centered on the main drive shaft, the ROTECH17FC requires less room behind the dash than many other rotary steering helms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan the ROTECH17FC replace my existing rotary steering system without new holes?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the ROTECH17FC is designed as a direct drop-in replacement for competing rotary steering systems and does not require drilling new mounting holes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat type of gear design does the ROTECH17FC helm use?\u003c\/strong\u003e The T71FC helm in the ROTECH17FC uses a planetary gear design, which reduces steering effort and delivers more balanced loads on the steering wheel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the ROTECH17FC steering cable resistant to corrosion?\u003c\/strong\u003e The M66 cable included in the ROTECH17FC has stainless steel output fittings, which support long-term durability and smooth steering.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat material is the ROTECH17FC helm made from?\u003c\/strong\u003e The helm in the Uflex ROTECH17FC system is made from plastic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat color is the Uflex ROTECH17FC?\u003c\/strong\u003e The ROTECH17FC is finished in beige.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the ROTECH17FC weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Uflex ROTECH17FC weighs 14.8 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere is the ROTECH17FC manufactured?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Uflex ROTECH17FC rotary steering system is made in the USA.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy would lost motion at the wheel be reduced with the ROTECH17FC?\u003c\/strong\u003e The T71FC helm used in the ROTECH17FC has a wider wear area than conventional rotary designs, which reduces lost motion and improves durability over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the part number for this Uflex steering system?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Uflex rotary steering system with a 17 foot cable is identified by part number ROTECH17FC.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Uflex","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48991111217371,"sku":"UFX-ROTECH17FC","price":229.23,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/61tIXJkrloL_9425591f-552a-4193-a26a-5416cfb05589.jpg?v=1784491871","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/uflex-rotech17fc-rotech-rotary-steering-system-17ft-planetary-gear-helm-bezel-and-cable-kit","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
