Uflex TM87 14' Rack & Pinion Steering System – TM87OX14
The Uflex TM87 14' Rack & Pinion Steering System (TM87OX14) is a high-efficiency mechanical steering solution designed to deliver smooth, precise helm control for small powerboats and compact outboard applications. Built around Uflex’s proven rack-and-pinion technology, this system offers direct, responsive steering with minimal play, making it an excellent upgrade from traditional rotary steering systems.
Equipped with a 14-foot high-efficiency steering cable, the TM87OX14 is ideal for boats with shorter steering runs while maintaining crisp, predictable handling. The rack-style helm translates wheel movement directly into steering action, providing improved feedback and confidence whether maneuvering at the dock or running on plane.
Manufactured using marine-grade, corrosion-resistant materials and stainless steel cable ends, the TM87 system is engineered for durability in both freshwater and saltwater environments. The included mounting bezel allows for easy installation and straightforward retrofitting into many standard dash layouts.
Whether you’re replacing worn steering components or upgrading for better handling and control, the Uflex TM87 14' Rack & Pinion Steering System delivers reliable mechanical performance backed by Uflex’s trusted marine engineering.
