ULTRAFLEX T93ZT ZERO TORQUE PLANETARY GEAR STEERING HELM

Engine torque usually generates a load on the steering system that must be continually compensated for by the driver even when the boat is going straight. With Ultraflex T93ZT Zero Torque (non-feedback) steering helm, the loads applied to the steering system are no longer a problem. A special patented device allows the helm shaft to lock until turned by the driver, maintaining the boat direction and neutralizing the feedback loads on the steering cable. This mechanism is engaged when the driver is not turning the wheel and is automatically disengaged as soon as the driver applies pressure on the wheel to change direction of the boat. Note: This helm has been designed to be used only with the M90 Mach steering cable from Ultraflex (does not suit any other make cables). Features: Specifically designed for high performance and high efficiency applications Fast connect, simple installation, patented end fitting. Stainless steel cable output end featuring patented gasket, engine side Corrosion resistant materials Standard 3/4” tapered shaft Minimal feedback (refer to table below for more details) Not to be used on boats equipped with engines that exceed the maximum horsepower rating of the boat For boats faster than 80 kph or 43knots suggest to use our hydraulic steering systems Mounting bezels required: X34 or X35 - sold separately Exceeds EN 28848 safety standards Exceeds ABYC P17 safety standards The T93ZT is also available in a steering kit package with M90 cable (see related products) Installation: 90° or 20° M90 steering cable stroke: 228mm (9") Lock-to-lock steering wheel turns: Approx 4,2 Max steering wheel diameter: 406mm (16") Suggested steering cable bend radius: 200mm (7.87") Min. steering cable bend radium: 150mm (5.9")
