Uflex Racktech Rack & Pinion Steering System 13 ft (216-RACKTECH13)

The Uflex Racktech is a complete rack and pinion steering system designed as a direct replacement for ski boats, power-assisted sterndrives, and other single-station powerboat applications where rudder torque is minimal. The system uses a stainless flat-wrap cable for smooth, low-friction steering with minimal lost motion delivering a responsive, connected feel at the helm.

At 3.5 turns lock-to-lock, the Racktech offers a balanced ratio suitable for a wide range of outboard and sterndrive applications. This 13 ft package includes everything needed for a complete installation: a pre-assembled M86 helm with steering cable, G86 shaft assembly, and X34 90 bezel. Compatible as a replacement for most rack and rotary steering applications where rudder torque is low.

Parts Desk Insights

Best Use Case: The Racktech 13 ft package is suited for ski boats and sterndrive applications with a longer cable run one step up from the 12 ft RACKTECH12. Always confirm the customers required cable length before purchase; matching the cable run precisely is the most common point of confusion across the Racktech family. Not recommended for high-torque outboard applications or twin-engine setups. For customers needing a tilt helm, redirect to the Uflex T81FC Rotary Tilt Steering Helm.
