Uflex UP28R Rear Mount Helm 1.7 cu. 3/4" Tapered Stainless Steel Shaft

The Uflex UP28R Rear Mount Helm is a hydraulic steering system designed for both recreational and professional vessels that require reliable and responsive helm control. This rear-mounted configuration enhances steering geometry from the helm station, effectively reducing mechanical friction and dead spots that can develop in traditional cable systems over time, whether in saltwater or freshwater environments.

Constructed with durable marine-grade materials, the UP28R features a hydraulic displacement of 1.7 cubic inches and a 3/4" tapered stainless steel shaft. This tapered design ensures a secure connection to your boat's rudder post or steering linkage while minimizing vibration transfer to the helm wheel during high-speed operation. The stainless steel construction is resistant to corrosion, making it ideal for harsh marine conditions.

Operators looking to upgrade from aging cable steering systems will find the UP28R beneficial, as it offers modern hydraulic precision. However, it is essential to consult your vessel's specifications to ensure compatibility with the existing helm pump and hose routing. This steering unit is particularly suited for center consoles, express cruisers, and cabin boats, providing the mechanical advantage needed for one-handed maneuverability in various sea states.
