Accutech ZeroTorque Feedback Rack Steering System 18 ft. Cable

Maximum-Reach Rack Steering for Larger Outboard and Offshore Boats

The Accutech ZeroTorque Feedback Rack Steering System with 18 ft. cable is the longest cable option in the range designed for larger center consoles, offshore boats, and walkarounds where the helm-to-engine run demands more cable than shorter lengths can provide. The patented ZeroTorque feedback clutch eliminates rudder torque at the wheel, so the helm stays where you put it regardless of prop forces, current, or chop.

This is a complete, ready-to-install system with 3.5 turns lock-to-lock and minimal lost motion, delivering precise mechanical feedback steering without the cost or complexity of a hydraulic system.

Parts Desk Insights

The 18 ft. cable is the longest in the Accutech ZeroTorque range if you’re measuring your cable run and it’s coming in at 1718 ft., this is your length. Always measure the actual routing path (not straight-line distance) and add a few inches for bends and connections. If a shorter cable fits your installation, this system is also available in 13 ft., 14 ft., 15 ft., 16 ft., and 17 ft. cable lengths.
