Italian company Ultraflex has been a leader in steering systems for leisure and professional boats for many years, producing accessories that are synonymous to reliability and safety.

The T71FC (38867H) mechanical steering system, has been designed to control boats equipped with outboard, inboard, or power assisted stern drive engines. The Ultraflex Steering system T71FC is to be used for single cable steering helms and in particular with the Ultraflex M66 steering cables.

The T71FC Steering System features a Planetary Gear Design. Three satellite gears rotate on their axis and at the same time rotate around the central helm axis. This allows for equal distribution of engine torque over three points of the central gear, dividing and balancing the system loads. The benefits of this special design are increased system longevity, increased efficiency and less engine feedback compared to single pinion gear helms.

The T71FC steering system is not to be used on boats equipped with engines that exceed the maximum horsepower rating of the boat and/or the speed of 50 knots (57.5 mph).

For the complete installation of the T71 Steering System, theX34 orX35 Mounting Bezel respectively is necessary, as it contains the full Mounting Kit.

All stainless steel output end of cable as per ABYC P17 safety standards.
