Uflex USA NaviTech Power Steer Assembly NTECH-EPS for Marine Outboard Boats

NaviTech Power Steer Assembly

Now you can get the same technology used to drive the most powerful and best handling cars for your boat.

Taking the latest technology from the automotive industry, Ultraflex has combined Electronic Power Steering (EPS) used in the most popular cars in the world with the latest mechanical steering helms and Mach 90 high efficiency steering cable to deliver unprecedented performance.

Perfectly silent, the system draws minimal power and furtheremore is very easy to install.

The NaviTechTM also has Integrated System Monitoring (ISM) which detects certain operating conditions including the number of cycles and notifies the end user with a vibration signal in the steering wheel if the cable needs to be changed. Never before has a steering system monitored its own operating conditions and given the driver diagnostic feedback.

For specific applications Ultraflex can use programmable software to dial in the hand wheel effort and steering output to meet specific performance objectives of boat builders.

A Complete Steering System Consists of:

• Power assisted steering helm: T91NAV - 43207S - single cable steering helm
• Tilt mechanism: X66 - 40613M - Tilt mechanism for NaviTechTM tilt mount helms. Tilt range of 48 and five locking positions

The Uflex USA NaviTech Power Steer Assembly (Part Number: NTECH-EPS) offers advanced electronic power steering technology designed specifically for marine applications. Incorporating automotive-grade electronic power steering (EPS) technology used in millions of vehicles worldwide, this system delivers smooth, responsive, and silent steering performance for boats up to 150 horsepower. Its innovative design ensures effortless handling and precise control, making it ideal for both leisure and professional marine use. The system features a high-efficiency Mach 90 steering cable and a mechanical helm, providing a reliable and maintenance-friendly solution that simplifies installation and operation.
The NaviTech Power Steer Assembly includes an integrated system monitoring (ISM) feature that tracks operational conditions such as cycle count and torque loads. This intelligent feedback mechanism alerts the operator via vibration signals on the steering wheel if maintenance is required, such as cable replacement or troubleshooting. Such diagnostic capabilities reduce downtime and extend the longevity of the steering system, while ensuring safety and optimal performance. Additionally, the system allows for programmable software adjustments to fine-tune steering effort and response, accommodating specific vessel characteristics and user preferences.
This complete steering system comprises a power-assisted helm (model T91NAV), a tilt mechanism (X66), and the M90 Nav patented steering cable. The system is compatible with multiple Uflex helms, offering versatility for various boat configurations. Designed with automotive-like effort and response, the NaviTech assembly provides balanced steering from port to starboard and maintains consistent assist torque across all vessel speeds. Its haptic feedback signals help detect anomalies such as cable overloads or sticking, providing preemptive diagnostics for safer operation. The system operates on 10-15 VDC with a nominal current during maneuvers of 8-15 A, supplied with a 10 ft electrical harness and requiring a 40 A fuse (sold separately). Validated under CE, ABYC P17, P27, and ISO 25197 standards, and with NMMA Type Acceptance, this steering assembly is a reliable choice for marine vessels up to 50 mph with outboard engines.
Easy to install and designed for durability, the NaviTech Power Steer Assembly enhances boat handling and safety, making it an essential upgrade for boat owners seeking automotive-grade steering technology with intelligent diagnostics and effortless operation.
