Uflex Racktech Rack & Pinion Steering System 16 ft (216-RACKTECH16)

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 16 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 16 ft is suited for larger ski boats and sterndrives with an extended cable run from helm to engine. Always confirm the customers required cable length before purchase this is the most common point of confusion across the Racktech family. If the run is shorter, direct the customer to the appropriate length starting with the 15 ft RACKTECH15. Not recommended for high-torque outboard applications or twin-engine setups.
