Troy Tempest Posted March 7, 2022 Report Share Posted March 7, 2022 Hello all, can anyone identify this steering unit from my 165 mk2. Cable is Ultraflex. So assume this is too similar size to a T85 steering unit,but the four mounting holes are approx 35mm between hole centres , where as a T85 is closer to 70mm thanks Jerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted March 8, 2022 Report Share Posted March 8, 2022 My 165 has got a Teleflex, which looks quite different. Jim 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plaicemat Posted March 8, 2022 Report Share Posted March 8, 2022 I have to say, I did consider changing to hydraulic steering, Baystar from choice but there are cheaper options out there and easy enough to fit oneself.

great white Posted March 8, 2022 Report Share Posted March 8, 2022 Have a look at the ASAP Marine supplies or Lancing Marine websites you may find a match. They may ask you to email them the pictures. If I was doing that I would mark up some sizes and then retake pictures. Hope that helps Jim 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Death Trap II Posted March 9, 2022 Report Share Posted March 9, 2022 sorry, those pictures wont load for me. I blew a steering cable last year, was really difficult to get parts. I did eventually find the parts i needed, after much searching! But i agree with @plaicemat, i regret not upgrading to hydraulic when i had the chance. Because i am certain i dont want to go to the hassle of blowing it all apart again and threading cables through the cavities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

great white Posted March 9, 2022 Report Share Posted March 9, 2022 I think that it may be an Ultraflex T85 from ASAP Supplies Jim and Brian 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

great white Posted March 9, 2022 Report Share Posted March 9, 2022 Not on mine thankfully, as they were all well protected whenever they passed through bulkheads. But I have seen many at work have problems on Members of the Yacht Club's boats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
