System Overview

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. Cables are combined with the XTREME™ helm, which provides an enhanced level of feel and lower effort at the wheel. The helm boasts an improved No Feedback (NFB) clutch mechanism with a smooth release that minimizes the effects of engine torque and reduces backlash. Compact Zamac housing and new style bezel offer reduced weight, superior strength and, with a smaller footprint than previous Teleflex helms, simplifies upgrading existing systems to this latest design.

The XTREME™ steering system offered here is the standard, fixed helm design. For added comfort, conveneince and control, the XTREME™ helm is also available as a tilt helm, with 48° articulation and five positive lock positions to ensure maximum comfort and control whether seated while cruising or when standing during close maneuvers or docking.
