A convenient kit form, especially suitable as replacement steering, that
includes helm, bezel and cable. The cable is available in 1-ft increments from 8
to 20 feet (specify cable length when ordering). 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. Click here for how to measure for replacement cable.
