Rod End 5/8 x 3/4-16 RH Male w/Teflon Liner

The Rod End 5/8 x 3/4-16 RH Male w/Teflon Liner (CMX12-10T) is an essential steering and control linkage component for recreational and commercial marine vessels. Built to withstand years of constant articulation, this right-hand male rod end connects helm systems, trim cylinders, and mechanical linkages to the core steering apparatus on boats of all sizes. Anyone who has spent serious time on the water knows that smooth, responsive steering is non-negotiable—and reliable rod ends are what make that happen.

This FK rod end features a 5/8-inch bore diameter with 3/4-16 threaded shaft specifications, engineered for precision fit and repeatable performance in high-load applications. The integrated Teflon liner reduces friction and wear at the ball joint, allowing thousands of pivot cycles without binding or play—critical when you're fighting currents or making precision docking maneuvers. The right-hand male threading ensures proper installation in standard marine linkage assemblies, and the Teflon lining guards against corrosion and salt spray degradation that commonly affects unprotected ball joints in saltwater environments.

Boaters replacing worn steering components, those upgrading hydraulic systems, or anyone rebuilding a trim-tilt mechanism will find this rod end a direct fit for FK linkage assemblies and compatible marine platforms. Installation is straightforward—thread onto the matching shaft, torque to specification, and verify full articulation range before returning to the water. With a compact footprint and 0.58 lb weight, it integrates seamlessly into existing setups without adding unnecessary bulk.
