The Rack - Rack & Pinion Steering Kits - for Single Cable Applications
SS141xx Series 4 Steering Whell Turns Lock-to-Lock Ideal for Power-Assisted Steering Applications
This back mount Rack System is the best choice for single station stern drives and outboards which don't require a No FeedBack system. The helm incorporates a pinion gear that engages a pre-assembled rack and cable for minimized steering effort.
This new version of The Rack replaces older 1984 - date Teleflex "The Rack" steering without the need for dashboard modification. (Requires use of SSC134XX Back Mount Rack cable or the premium cable with TFXtreme technology SSC154XX. See Related Products, below.)
Although components are available for twin cable systems (recommended for boats that exceed 50 mph, or experience instability due to engine flutter), Teleflex recommends No-FeedBack steering for all dual cable steered outboards.

How to Determine the Proper Cable Length to Order Although cable length "formulas" are available, installations have so many individual differences that, arguably, the simplest method is to lay a garden hose (or similar object) along the route the cable will follow and measure the distance from the centerline of the steering wheel to the center of the engine connection point with the tiller centered. Order that length of cable.
