Uflex UC95OBF-1 Front Mount Hydraulic Outboard Steering Cylinder, 175 HP or Less
The Uflex UC95OBF-1 is a front mount hydraulic outboard steering cylinder built for outboard engines rated 175 HP or less. It is the version 1 cylinder in the UC95-OBF product line, which is offered in three versions (UC95-OBF/1, UC95-OBF/2, and UC95-OBF/3) to match different outboard engine applications. The UC95OBF-1 is constructed from stainless steel and features balanced operation for smooth, even steering response at the helm.
Because outboard engine steering geometry varies by manufacturer and horsepower range, Uflex offers this cylinder in engine-specific versions rather than a single universal design. The UC95-OBF/1 version is not suitable for use with Honda BF115 and BF130 outboard engines, or with Mercury Optimax 75, 90, and 115 outboards; boat owners with those specific engines should instead use the UC95-OBF/3 cylinder. Confirming the correct version for your engine before ordering ensures proper fit and steering performance.
