Uflex ROTECH20FC Rotech Rotary Steering System, 20 Foot Cable

The Uflex ROTECH20FC Rotech Rotary Steering System is a complete 20 foot rotary steering kit built around the T71FC helm and its planetary gear design. This gear design reduces steering effort at the wheel and delivers more balanced loads, so the boat feels lighter and more predictable to steer. The helm uses a wider wear area than conventional rotary helms, which reduces lost motion at the wheel over time and improves long-term durability.

The T71FC helm is centered on the main drive shaft, so it requires less room behind the dash than many other rotary helms. It is designed as a direct drop-in replacement for competing rotary steering systems, meaning it can be installed without drilling any new mounting holes. The kit is complete: 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 long-term corrosion resistance and smooth, consistent steering feel.

This system is intended for boat helm installations using a universal rotary steering setup and is compatible with standard rotary steering configurations found on many boats.
