The Original Teleflex Steering System! For over 35 years, Big-T® has been the most durable, versatile mechanical steering system made, with both single and dual station capability. The heavy duty helm incorporates a strong steel pinion, dual diecast gears and meaty shaft bearing supports, all encased in a rugged gear housing. It’s no wonder owners of small inboards have counted on the Teleflex Big-T since 1963!

HPS™ Rotary High Performance Steering by Teleflex is the best 3-turn way to steer a power-assisted sterndrive! Designed exclusively for power-steered boats, HPS reduces backlash (free-play at the wheel) associated with power steered boats by up to 50%!

Applications

HPS™ Rotary is ideal for all power-assisted sterndrives that can accept a mechanical steering cable.  It replaces standard current generation Safe-T® steering without dash modifications and most other rotary steering systems with minimal dash modifications.  HPS Rotary is available in single cable configuration and is for single station use only. It accepts wheels up to 16” diameter.

• Designed for boats with power-assisted steering.
• Unique 3-turn helm with planetary gears and coated helical steering cable combine to deliver a compact helm with incredible response and minimal lost motion.

• Designed to handle normal steering loads.

(Single System)

Patented 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 our patented No FeedBack steering to lock out steering loads, Teleflex’s 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 (Single System)

NFB 4.2 single-cable systems are suitable for most single-station boats with a single non-power-assisted outboard and stern drive engines up to V-6 and minimal engine flutter or steering instability.  4.2 accepts 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 modification.
