Uflex ROTECH18FC Rotech Rotary Steering System, 18 Foot Cable, Beige

The 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.

The 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.
