The Uflex T81FC is a rotary tilt steering helm built for boaters who want precise, comfortable helm control with the flexibility of an adjustable tilt column. Featuring a Planetary Gear design, the T81FC delivers responsive, low-effort steering with reduced rudder feedback — making it well-suited for single-station powerboat applications where comfort and control matter.
The helm offers a 48° tilt range across five locking positions, allowing the operator to dial in the ideal wheel angle for their seating position. The tilt mechanism eliminates under-dash movement for a clean, secure installation. Designed for use with the Uflex M66 steering cable and the X52 tilt assembly (sold separately).

Parts Desk Insights
Best Use Case: Ideal for single-station outboard or sterndrive powerboats where the operator wants an adjustable tilt helm for ergonomic comfort — particularly useful on centre-console or cuddy cabin boats where helm height varies by operator. Always confirm the customer has the compatible Uflex M66 steering cable and note that the X52 tilt assembly must be ordered separately. Do not recommend for applications where engine horsepower exceeds the helm’s rated capacity — confirm horsepower rating with the customer before purchase. For a zero-torque option, direct to the Rotary Tilt ZeroTorque Steering Helm.
