For over 35 years, Big-T has been the most the original, durable, versatile mechanical steering system made, with both single and dual station capability. Replacing the Big-T, the brand new 4.2 NON NFB Rotary Steering helm offers the ease of 4.2 mechanical steering while not needing the NFB clutch in the helm. The new 4 turn lock to lock provides more a mechanical steering advantage over the old three turn system and is ideal for inboards and pontoons. The new 4.2 NON NFB Helm uses the same steering cable and mounting holes making it easy to switch from the Big-T.
Applications:
Inboards to 34 feet with one engine. Also suitable for sterndrive boats with power-assisted steering. These Big-T replacement systems accept Steering wheels up to 20" in diameter.
The type of system shown on the page is for single station use. For dual station use, please contact customer service at 877-388-2628.
Features:
Replacement of Existing Cable: If possible, find the part number stamped on the plastic jacket of the old cable. If you removed the old cable, measure for the replacement cable as follows:
For Rotary Steering Cable Replacement, Measure Existing Cable as follows: Measure plastic cable jacket (“Y” dimension, shown in above drawing) in inches, add 18″, and round up to next foot. Order that length cable.
New Installation: Measure cable routing path from wheel center line to engine connection, as follows: A = Center line of wheel to gunwale (or deck, if routed downward), B = Dash to transom, C = Gunwale to centerline of cable connection at centered tiller.
For Cable Installations through the Engine Tilt Tube: Add A, B & C + 6″, then round up to the next foot. Order that length cable.
For Cables Mounted to Transom, Splashwell or Stringer: Add A, B & C, then subtract 6″ and round up to the next foot. Order that length cable.
