Uflex MasterDrive Steering System – Single Station Retrofit Kit – MD40T
The Uflex MasterDrive MD40T Single Station Retrofit Steering System delivers professional-grade hydraulic steering performance for powerboats demanding precision, control, and long-term reliability. Engineered for high-horsepower and high-speed applications, this system combines Uflex’s 40cc tilt-mount hydraulic helm with the UPMD Power Unit, providing smooth, responsive steering with minimal effort at the wheel.
Designed as a retrofit solution, the MD40T kit is ideal for upgrading older mechanical or hydraulic steering systems without the need for a complete overhaul. The tilt-mount helm offers ergonomic adjustability, allowing the operator to fine-tune steering wheel angle for maximum comfort and control during long runs or aggressive maneuvers.
At the core of the system, the UPMD Power Unit ensures consistent hydraulic pressure and precise helm response, reducing steering torque and enhancing overall handling. The MasterDrive system is built using corrosion-resistant marine-grade materials, making it suitable for both freshwater and saltwater environments. Whether cruising, offshore fishing, or running at speed, the MD40T delivers confidence-inspiring steering performance.
This retrofit kit is compatible with Uflex hydraulic steering cylinders (sold separately), allowing installers to select the appropriate cylinder based on vessel size, engine configuration, and performance requirements.
Key Performance Features
-
Power-Assisted Steering: The system utilizes an electrical power unit (UPMD) that senses the pilot's input at the helm and provides immediate hydraulic assistance, making steering nearly effortless even with large outboards.
-
Tilt Mount Flexibility: The 40cc Tilt Mount Helm allows the driver to adjust the steering wheel angle for maximum comfort and better visibility while standing or sitting.
-
Fail-Safe Integration: In the event of a power loss, the system automatically reverts to standard manual hydraulic steering, ensuring you always maintain control of the vessel.
-
High Precision: Designed for high-performance hulls, the MasterDrive system eliminates much of the "prop walk" and steering torque felt with traditional hydraulic setups.
