Uflex Racktech Rack & Pinion Steering System 14 ft (216-RACKTECH14)

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 14 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 14 ft is one of the longer cable-length options in the Racktech family suited for larger ski boats and sterndrives with a longer helm-to-engine cable run. Always confirm the customers required cable length before purchase; matching the run precisely is the most common point of confusion across the Racktech range. If the run is shorter, direct the customer to the 13 ft RACKTECH13 or shorter. Not recommended for high-torque outboard applications or twin-engine setups.
