Steering cables – mechanical cable steering for outboard motors

In the Steering Cables product group you will find steering cables for mechanical cable steering systems, which are an alternative to hydraulic steering for lighter and lower-powered outboard motors – cable steering is a simpler and more affordable solution, but heavier with larger engines compared to a hydraulic system. The range includes Ultraflex brand steering cables in several lengths, for example the 17-foot RAK series and the M90 ??MACH series cables in 8 and 9 feet (2.4m and 2.7m) lengths.

The length of the steering cable should be carefully selected according to the distance between the boat's steering box and the outboard motor - a cable of the wrong length will either not reach the desired position or will be too loose, which will affect the steering feel and can shorten the cable's service life due to premature wear. The M90 ??MACH series is designed specifically for smaller and medium-sized outboard motors, where mechanical steering is sufficient.

It is a good idea to check the steering cable regularly for wear and stiffness – rusting of the cable's inner wire or damage to the cable's outer sheath can cause the steering to jam, which is a safety risk on the water. The correct steering housing (found in the Steering Housings product group ) must always be selected to be compatible with the cable to ensure the functionality of the entire steering system.

The correct length of the steering cable is always measured as the distance between the boat's steering box and the actual position of the outboard motor along the route, not as a straight line – the cable often has to go around other structures, which significantly increases the required length compared to a straight measurement. The RAK and M90 MACH series from Ultraflex differ mainly in the durability of the cable's internal mechanism and their suitability for different engine powers.

The advantage of cable steering over hydraulic steering is a simpler structure and a lower price, but with heavier and more powerful engines, cable steering becomes more difficult to turn, which is why manufacturers recommend switching to hydraulic steering when a certain power limit is exceeded. Corrosion of the cable's internal wire is often visible as stiffness or jerking in the steering, and it should be checked regularly, especially if the boat has not been used for a long time. An incorrectly installed or overtightened cable can cause premature wear on both the cable ends and the steering housing.

Regularly lubricate the outer ends of the control cable with the manufacturer's recommended grease - this reduces friction and significantly extends the life of the cable, especially in salty and humid environments.

Check the cable end mounting screws regularly for tightness, as loose mounting will cause a loss of steering feel even in a short time.
