Rotech Mechanical Boat Steering System
The competitively priced complete system from Uflex is called the Rotech. The Planetary Gear Design of the Rotech contrasts conventional systems which have only one contact point between two drive gears. The single contact point of conventional systems receives all the torque from the engine, which can eventually lead to uneven gear wear and correspondent lost motion in the steering. The Rotech includes helm, bezel and cable. It is a direct replacement for competing rotary systems requiring no new holes in the dash. Featuring the T71FC helm with a Planetary Gear Design, the Rotech reduces steering effort and delivers more balanced loads on the steering wheel. This unique design also offers a wider wear area which reduces lost motion and improves durability. Centered on the main drive shaft, this helm requires less room behind the dash and is a direct “drop in” replacement for competing system; requiring no new holes for installation. The Rotech package also includes the M66 Universal Rotary Steering Cable with stainless steel output fittings for maximum longevity and smooth steering.
