Maximum-Reach Rack Steering for Larger Outboard and Offshore Boats
The Accutech ZeroTorque® Feedback Rack Steering System with 18 ft. cable is the longest cable option in the range — designed for larger center consoles, offshore boats, and walkarounds where the helm-to-engine run demands more cable than shorter lengths can provide. The patented ZeroTorque® feedback clutch eliminates rudder torque at the wheel, so the helm stays where you put it regardless of prop forces, current, or chop.
This is a complete, ready-to-install system with 3.5 turns lock-to-lock and minimal lost motion, delivering precise mechanical feedback steering without the cost or complexity of a hydraulic system.

Parts Desk Insights
The 18 ft. cable is the longest in the Accutech ZeroTorque® range — if you're measuring your cable run and it's coming in at 17–18 ft., this is your length. Always measure the actual routing path (not straight-line distance) and add a few inches for bends and connections. If a shorter cable fits your installation, this system is also available in 13 ft., 14 ft., 15 ft., 16 ft., and 17 ft. cable lengths.
