Uflex PROTECH11T Hydraulic Tilt Steering System – Front Mount Outboard
The Uflex PROTECH11T is a complete front-mount hydraulic tilt steering system engineered for outboard-powered boats. Built around the UP28FM tilt helm and UC128 front-mount cylinder, this system delivers smooth, precise steering with an efficient 4.25 turns lock-to-lock ratio — reducing arm fatigue on longer runs while maintaining responsive control at all speeds.
The stainless steel helm shaft, heavy-duty seals, and electropolished 304 stainless steel link assembly are built to handle the demands of saltwater use. The PROTECH11T is a direct drop-in replacement for competing hydraulic steering systems, and is compatible with Teleflex/Seastar Solutions hoses and oil for easy integration into existing setups.
Note: Hoses are sold separately. Compatible with Kit OB or Kit OB BHBR hose sets.

Parts Desk Insights
Best Use Case: The PROTECH11T is the right system for outboard boats in the 17–28 foot range where hydraulic steering is either being installed for the first time or replacing a worn mechanical or hydraulic system. The tilt helm is a meaningful comfort upgrade — particularly for boats used by multiple operators or anyone who adjusts their seating position frequently. The front-mount UC128 cylinder is the standard configuration for most single-outboard center consoles and runabouts. If you’re replacing an existing Seastar or Teleflex hydraulic system, the PROTECH11T is designed to drop in without rerunning hoses, which keeps the job straightforward. Confirm your engine is on the application chart before ordering, and don’t forget to add the appropriate hose kit — this system ships without hoses.
