HPS Rotary High Performance Steering by Teleflex is the best 3-turn way to steer a power-assisted stern drive! 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 stern drives 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 con figuration and is for single station use only. It accepts wheels up to 16" diameter.

Features:

Designed exclusively 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!
HPS Rotary helms fit industry-standard Teleflex dash cutouts: either Safe-T/Rotary NFB or Tilt.
Compact helm takes up little room behind the dash.
Designed to handle steering load in the event of power steering failure.
Standard 3/4" round tapered steering shaft.
Stainless steel cable output ends.
Fast, easy installation: uses Teleflex Quick Connect (QC) cable & standard Safe-T mounting hardware.
Meets A.B.Y.C. standards.
Meets N.M.M.A. certification requirements.

NOTE: Please also note that while HPS and Safe-T II helms and cables are similar in appearance, they have completely different tolerances and performance characteristics. HPS helms are gold in color for identification. HPS cables bear the "SSC63" part number. Do not substitute HPS for Safe-T II or vice-versa.
