Boat Outfitting - Steering Systems

NaviTech™ Power Steer Assembly

Now you can get the same technology used to drive the most powerful and best handling cars for your boat. 

Taking the latest technology from the automotive industry, Ultraflex has combined Electronic Power Steering (EPS) used in the most popular cars in the world with the latest mechanical steering helms and Mach 90 high efficiency steering cable to deliver unprecedented performance. 

Perfectly silent, the system draws minimal power and furtheremore is very easy to install. 

The NaviTechTM also has Integrated System Monitoring (ISM) which detects certain operating conditions including the number of cycles and notifies the end user with a vibration signal in the steering wheel if the cable needs to be changed. Never before has a steering system monitored it’s own operating conditions and given the driver diagnostic feedback. 

For specific applications Ultraflex can use programmable software to dial in the hand wheel effort and steering output to meet specific performance objectives of boat builders.

A Complete Steering System Consists of:

• Power assisted steering helm:  T91NAV - 43207S - single cable steering helm
• Tilt mechanism: X66 - 40613M - Tilt mechanism for NaviTechTM tilt mount helms. Tilt range of 48° and five locking positions
• Steering cable: M90 Nav (patented) 
• ATTENTION: M90 Nav steering cable is suitable for use also with T71FC, T72FC, T73NRFC, T81FC, T82FC, T83NRFC, T91, T93ZT, T101, T103ZT. Ultraflex steering helms. M66 will not fit the following Uflex helms: T91, T93ZT, T101, T103ZT.

SilverSteer™ Front Mount Outboard Hydraulic Steering System w/ UC130-SVS-1 Cylinder

Specifically designed for high performance and high torque applications, the SilverSteer features a 1,500 psi helm and keyed bullhorns on the cylinder for maximum durability and minimal lost motion.

Whether a bass boat, flats boat or tournament-style offshore fishing boat, the SilverSteer™ will deliver smooth, responsive, and precise steering.

Adjustable boss style fittings allow precise hose routing without the risk of breaking the fittings by over-tightening or leaking fittings from loosening during installation, a common problem on competing cylinders.

UC130-SVS-1 Cylinder is ideal for applications with limited space or potential pinch-points between the cylinder and transom (i.e., when tilting the motor all the way up or motors mounted on a jack plate).  The end-mounted fittings keep the hydraulic hoses free and clear.

SilverSteer™ Package Kit Contains:

• UC130-SVS-1 Cylinder (fittings face out from the ends of the cylinder)

Yamaha 150-200 Zero Torque Feedback Tiller

The four stroke outboard engines are generating high torque loads which can make tiller steered boats difficult to steer. The Uflex® ZTF Tiller systems eliminate propeller torque at the tiller handle when the driver is not actively changing direction.

Using a hydraulic valve, the propeller torque is locked from reaching the tiller handle unless the driver pushes or pulls on the end of the handle, at which point the valve opens and allows for active steering movements. 

Now you can drive your tiller steered boat in comfort, saving your energy for reeling in fish rather than effort to just get to your favorite fishing spot.
