Comments about Teleflex The Rack Back-Mount Rack-and-Pinion Steering System, SS141:
Product is good now that it was made to fit. Once I got the old one removed, I had to file and sand down the shaft to fit through the hole in the motor. The old shaft slid fine through it, but small imperfections or high spots in the now shaft caused it to bind up when going through the motor hole. Other than that, very happy with product, works fine now, and good guidance on the website as to what length to order.

After 6 years with a Det Mar steering system, (with 3 broken cables) I had no idea that rack and pinion steering could be this smooth and effortless. This is a perfect replacement system.

Q:
how do i take the rack off of the steering wheel area to replace. this is a 1970 24 foot skipjack.Asked on 11/10/2009 by Anonymous from dana point, ca1 answer
CUSTOMER CARE
A:
In the center of the steering wheel there should be a cap that pops off. Then there will be a nut that just unscrews. That should help if not please call our Tech Department 1-888-683-7866.Answered on 1/25/2010 by Chad @ Overton's from Greenville, NC
Q:
Can this item works with yamaha 115hp outboard engineAsked on 10/19/2009 by indio from miami florida1 answer
CUSTOMER CARE
A:
This is a replacement rack and pinion steering system, so if your boat uses a rack and pinion steering system then this will replace it. You will need to measure the old steering cable sheath, the middle black part only, to find the length cable you need. Please round the measurement of the old cable up to the nearest foot.Answered on 10/29/2009 by OVERTON'S from TECHNICIAN
