{"product_id":"uflex-rotech18fc-rotech-18-rotary-boat-steering-system-kit-t71fc-helm-90-degree-bezel-and-steering-cable","title":"Uflex ROTECH18FC Rotech Rotary Steering System, 18 Foot Cable, Beige","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Uflex ROTECH18FC is a complete rotary steering system built around the T71FC helm and its planetary gear design, which reduces steering effort and delivers more balanced loads on the steering wheel compared to conventional rotary systems. The helm's wider wear area reduces lost motion over time and improves long-term durability. Because the design is centered on the main drive shaft, the helm requires less room behind the dash and installs as a direct drop-in replacement for a competing steering system, requiring no new holes to be drilled during installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe complete kit pairs the T71FC helm with the X34 90 degree bezel and the M66 universal rotary steering cable. The M66 cable measures 18 feet and uses stainless steel output fittings for maximum longevity and smooth, consistent steering feel. The system is finished in beige and constructed of plastic components sized for boat steering applications.\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 ROTECH18FC\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 18 feet\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\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 15.2 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSteering Design:\u003c\/strong\u003e Planetary gear rotary steering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Boat, universal fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKit Components:\u003c\/strong\u003e T71FC helm, X34 90 degree bezel, M66 steering cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInstallation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Direct drop-in replacement, no new holes required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 702755019855\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is included in the Uflex ROTECH18FC steering kit?\u003c\/strong\u003e The ROTECH18FC kit includes the T71FC helm, the X34 90 degree bezel, and the M66 rotary steering cable, giving you everything needed for a complete steering system installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long is the steering cable on the ROTECH18FC system?\u003c\/strong\u003e The M66 steering cable included with the ROTECH18FC measures 18 feet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat color is the Uflex ROTECH18FC steering system?\u003c\/strong\u003e The ROTECH18FC is finished in beige.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes installing the ROTECH18FC require drilling new holes in the dash?\u003c\/strong\u003e No new holes are required.
