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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Uflex USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e UC95OBF-1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Line:\u003c\/strong\u003e UC95-OBF (version 1 of 3)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication:\u003c\/strong\u003e Outboard engines, 175 HP or less\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting:\u003c\/strong\u003e Front mount\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stainless steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecial Feature:\u003c\/strong\u003e Balanced operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9.4 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 702755051077\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEngine Compatibility Exclusions:\u003c\/strong\u003e Not suitable for Honda BF115 and BF130, or Mercury Optimax 75, 90, and 115 (use UC95-OBF\/3 for these engines)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for outboard engines rated 175 HP or less, front mount configuration.
