Safe-T II Steering SystemLatest generation No-Feedback technology. This smooth 3.0 turn system is rated for all outboards to V4. Boats travelling over 40 knots, or when engine flutter is apparent, should use NFB 4.2 twin cable, see page 525 for details. Steering wheels ordered separately, refer pages 512-516.Features:• Patented No-FeedBack mechanism • Minimal clutch free play• Replaces standard Safe-T and Quick Connect without dash modification • Cable will fit through minimal channel of 23mm• Standard 3/4" tapered steering wheel shaft• Stainless steel cable output end minimises corrosion • Fast, easy installation• Meets ABYC, NMMA and BIA requirements
4.2 Rotary Steering SystemBuilt with an emphasis on safety and durability. The 4.2 turn No-Feedback mechanism eliminates engine torque feedback at the wheel, for the safest mechanical steering on the market. Rated for all outboards to V6. Boats travelling over 40 knots, or when engine flutter is apparent, should use twin cables, see page 525 for details. Steering wheels ordered separately, refer pages 512-516.
Features:• Patented No-Feedback mechanism• Utilises Quick Connect steering cable• Cable will fit through minimal channel of 23mm• Standard 3/4" tapered steering wheel shaft• Meets ABYC, NMMA and BIA requirements• Stainless steel cable output end minimises corrosion

Quick Connect 3 Turn Steering SystemThe Quick Connect steering system is the OEM’s choice for simple, safe, reliable, easy to install steering for boatsupto7.5mandalloutboardstoV6. Boats travelling over 40 knots, or when engine flutter is apparent, should use twin cables. This system does not require tools to connect the cable to the helm reducing installation time by up to 50%. The nut on the engine end is trapped in place which saves time chasing coupler nuts during installation. Suitable for steering wheels up to 400mm. Twin cable systems, for a single engine, require the purchase of an additional genuine outboard twin tube mount kit.

HPS (High Performance Steering) - 3 Turn Planetary Geared
Designed specifically for stern drives with power steering. With only three turns lock to lock it is a very direct steering system that provides the ultimate in response with minimal backlash often associated with power steered boats. Can reduce backlash by up to 50%. Planetary drive gearing and coated helical inner SSC63 steering cable combine to deliver incredibly smooth steering with minimal lost motion.

Replacement Steering Cable Selection Guide
How to Measure Steering CablesMeasure cable routing path from wheel centre line to engine connection as follows:
A = Centrelineofwheeltogunwale(ordeck,ifrouteddownward)
B = Dash to transom
C = Gunwale to centre line of cable connection at centred tiller
For cable installations through the engine tilt tube - Add A, B and C +150mm,thenrounduptothenextsize.Orderthatlengthcable.
For cable mounted to transom, splashwell or stringer - Add A, B andC,thensubtract150mmandrounduptothenextsize.Order that length cable.
Replacement of Existing Cable:
If possible, find the part number stamped on the plastic jacket of the old cable. If you removed the old cable, measure the replacement cable as follows:
