Boats with higher horsepower engines or hulls with large wetted surfaces can now enjoy the unprecedented levels of smooth, effortless handling that only the innovative XTREME™ cable design, in conjunction with an all-new helm featuring high-efficiency gearing and an improved No FeedBack (NFB) clutch can provide. XTREME™ cables feature splined ridges on the inner liner that reduce internal friction, allow for a tighter fit to minimize lost motion, and extend cable life. Boasting an entirely new drive train, the XTREME™ helm provides an enhanced level of feel and lower effort at the wheel. An improved NFB clutch mechanism with a smoother release minimizes the effects of engine torque and reduces backlash. Compact Zamac housing and new style bezel offers reduced weight, superior strength and, with a smaller footprint than previous Teleflex helms, simplifies upgrading existing systems to this latest design. XTREME™ steering systems are available in standard, fixed helm designs or with the added comfort, convenience and control of a tilt hub helm that provides 48° articulation with five positive lock positions to ensure maximum comfort and control whether seated while cruising or when standing during close maneuvers or docking.
