*Note: Product images include 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 Rack Steering Cable Replacement, Measure Existing Cable as follows: Measure plastic cable jacket (“Y” dimension shown in above drawing) in inches, add 30″, 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 Rack Outboard Steering Single Cable System designed for?
The NFB Rack Outboard Steering Single Cable System is a single-cable rack and pinion steering system for most single-station boats with a single nonpower-assisted outboard engine up to V-6 and minimal engine flutter or steering instability. It accepts steering wheels up to 16 inches in diameter.
Can the NFB Rack replace Teleflex rack steering systems?
Yes. The NFB Rack is designed as a drop-in replacement for standard Teleflex rack steering systems without requiring dash modifications. Its back mount design allows the helm and cable to be installed as a unit from behind the dash, and the mounting hardware fits industry-standard Teleflex and Morse rack holes.
How many turns does the NFB Rack steering system have from lock-to-lock?
The NFB Rack provides 4 turns from lock-to-lock and incorporates a patented No Feedback Steering mechanism. It also features minimal clutch free play, a standard 3/4-inch round tapered steering shaft, and stainless steel cable output ends.
What is included with the NFB Rack single-cable steering system?
The NFB Rack kit includes the steering cable, helm, 90-degree bezel, and hardware. The system also uses a back mount design for installation from behind the dash, with mounting hardware designed to fit industry-standard Teleflex and Morse rack holes.
How do I measure for the correct NFB Rack replacement steering cable length?
For an existing rack steering cable, measure the plastic cable jacket, add 30 inches, and round up to the next foot. For a new installation, measure dimensions A, B, and C along the cable routing path. The calculation differs depending on whether the cable passes through the engine tilt tube or mounts to the transom, splashwell, or stringer.
Is the NFB Rack suitable for boats with engine flutter or steering instability?
The NFB Rack single-cable system is intended for boats with minimal engine flutter or steering instability. The application specifically describes it for single nonpower-assisted outboard engines up to V-6, so boats with greater engine flutter or steering instability should not be assumed to be compatible based on this description alone.
