Uflex UC128 Version 1 Hydraulic Cylinder

The Uflex UC128 Version 1 Hydraulic Cylinder is a heavy-duty marine steering actuator engineered for outboard engine applications. Built from stainless steel construction throughout the cylinder rod, seals, and link assemblies, this hydraulic steering cylinder delivers the corrosion resistance and durability required in saltwater and freshwater boating environments. The UC128 is compatible with most leading helm systems and hoses, making it a practical replacement or upgrade for vessels equipped with two and four-stroke outboard engines.

Key to the UC128's performance is its balanced design—the number of lock-to-lock turns is equal from port to starboard, ensuring proportional steering response and predictable handling across both directions. The stainless steel components resist oxidation and salt spray degradation, a critical consideration for anglers and boaters operating in harsh marine conditions. At 11.85 pounds and measuring 7 x 3 x 23 inches, the UC128 fits within the dimensional envelope of most helm installations without requiring extensive modifications. The cylinder's straightforward design simplifies installation, reducing labor time and compatibility concerns.

Anglers rely on precise, responsive steering in all conditions—whether positioning for a dock approach, navigating shallow waters, or executing tight offshore maneuvers. Weekend fishermen and serious tournament anglers alike benefit from the UC128's smooth hydraulic actuation and balanced response. The cylinder's stainless steel construction means minimal maintenance and extended service life, even when exposed to intense UV, salt, and spray. Original equipment and aftermarket helm manufacturers specify similar hydraulic actuators for mid-range outboard installations, positioning the UC128 as a dependable component for helm systems requiring reliable steering authority and corrosion durability.
