Add to CartPatented No FeedBack Steering Control for about the cost of an old-fashioned steering replacement. With the advantage of 4.2 turns lock-to-lock and the patented No Feedback steering to lock out steering load, 4.2 Rotary NFB Steering is the ideal single-cable system for most non-power-steered boats. The helm is a drop-in replacement for current generation Safe-T with no dash modifications required.
Applications:
NFB 4.2 single-cable systems are suitable for most single-station boats with a single non-power-assisted outboard engine up to V-6 and minimal engine flutter or steering instability. 4.2 Accepts steering wheels up to 16" diameter.
Use dual cable system for boats with engine flutter or steering instability.
Replaces nearly all Teleflex safe-T steering systems without dash modifications.
Features:
*Note: Product images show both new and old packaging
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.
TYPICAL SINGLE STATION ROUTING
A single-cable, starboard drive push-pull mechanical cable system is shown in this diagram. If your mechanical system is different than the one depicted and/or you have any questions about mechanical steering after reviewing this guide, please contact Teleflex (Mechanical) Technical Service at (610)-495-7011 or www.teleflexmarine.com
Cable routings (such as those found on pontoon boats) may vary from this drawing. Confirm length by laying a garden hose or similar object) along cable path and measure run from wheel to engine connection point.
What is the NFB 4.2 Mechanical Rotary Steering System designed for?
The NFB 4.2 Mechanical Rotary Steering System is a single-cable steering system for most non-power-steered boats. It is designed for single-station boats with a single non-power-assisted outboard engine up to V-6 and minimal engine flutter or steering instability.
How many turns does the NFB 4.2 steering system have from lock-to-lock?
The NFB 4.2 steering system provides 4.2 turns from lock-to-lock and uses a patented No Feedback Steering mechanism that locks out steering load. It accepts steering wheels up to 16 inches in diameter and uses a standard 3/4-inch round tapered steering shaft.
Does the NFB 4.2 replace Teleflex Safe-T steering systems?
Yes. The NFB 4.2 is designed to replace nearly all current-generation Teleflex Safe-T steering systems without requiring dash modifications. The helm is a drop-in replacement for current-generation Safe-T systems.
What is included with the NFB 4.2 Mechanical Rotary Steering System?
The NFB 4.2 kit includes the steering cable, helm, 90-degree bezel, and hardware. The system uses a Quick Connect (QC) steering cable and features stainless steel cable output ends.
How do I determine the correct replacement steering cable length?
For an existing rotary steering cable, measure the plastic cable jacket length, add 18 inches, and round up to the next foot. For a new installation, measure the routing path from the wheel centerline to the engine connection and use the specified calculation based on whether the cable runs through the engine tilt tube or mounts to the transom, splashwell, or stringer.
Can the NFB 4.2 be used on a boat with engine flutter or steering instability?
The NFB 4.2 is intended for boats with minimal engine flutter or steering instability. The product description recommends using a dual-cable system for boats with engine flutter or steering instability rather than the NFB 4.2 single-cable system.
