Accutech ZeroTorque® Feedback Rack Steering System – 16 ft. Cable
Rack-and-pinion steering with a patented ZeroTorque® feedback clutch — engineered to eliminate the rudder torque that pulls at the wheel when you're underway. The result is light, neutral steering feel without the cost or complexity of hydraulic power assist. This complete 16 ft. package is ready to install and includes everything needed for a full steering system replacement or new build.
The 3.5 turn lock-to-lock ratio delivers precise, responsive steering with minimal lost motion — a meaningful improvement over standard rotary helm systems on boats where rudder feedback has been an issue.

Parts Desk Insights
Best suited for outboard and sterndrive boats in the 17–22 ft. range that experience noticeable rudder torque or pull at the wheel — particularly single-engine boats running high-thrust props or boats without hydraulic steering. The ZeroTorque® clutch makes this a strong upgrade over standard rack systems for anyone who finds their wheel fighting back at speed or in following seas. Cable length should be measured from the helm to the rack connection point — 16 ft. suits most mid-console and center-console layouts. Other cable lengths are available: 13 ft., 14 ft., 15 ft., 17 ft., and 18 ft. Browse the full Steering Systems collection for compatible components.
