Questions & Answers

Is this a genuine original part?

Yes, this is a genuine Multiflex Lite 55 steering kit. Multiflex is a global leader in marine steering systems, often used as OEM equipment by major boat manufacturers.

How do I know if it is compatible?

This system is designed specifically for outboards up to 55HP. Check that your current cable is a standard helical light-duty type (similar to Teleflex SSC 1300). If your engine exceeds 55HP, please look for the Multiflex 150HP planetary system.

How do I measure the steering cable length?

Measure from the center of the steering wheel to the side of the boat (A), from the side to the transom corner (B), and from the transom corner to the center of the engine tilt tube (C). Add A+B+C and deduct for 90-degree bends to find your total length in feet.

Note: Please verify your outboard’s horsepower and required cable length before purchasing. For expert assistance, contact the team at 4boats.co.uk.
