4.0 out of 5 stars No feedback means motor does not turn when you let go wheel
You can let go of the wheel to attend to other things and the motor stays as you left it. I love mine. Yes, the clutch makes this system a bit stiffer, especially when you first go to turn the wheel. However, once you start turning it, the clutch disengages, and I don't feel any difference when underway. No, you cannot turn the motor directly. The clutch is designed to...

3.0 out of 5 stars Acceptable replacement
I bought the rotary steering as a replacement for an old Teleflex rack and pinion system that went bad. The rotary system has more resistance in the cable and drum and is called "no feedback" because of this increased resistance. You will not feel the motor twisting against your hand like the rack and pinion system did ... the down side is ... it is stiffer to turn and...

4.0 out of 5 stars No feedback means motor does not turn when you let go wheel, April 17, 2011
This review is from: Teleflex SS13211 NFB Safe-T II Marine Rotary Steering Kit (Misc.)
You can let go of the wheel to attend to other things and the motor stays as you left it. I love mine. Yes, the clutch makes this system a bit stiffer, especially when you first go to turn the wheel. However, once you start turning it, the clutch disengages, and I don't feel any difference when underway. No, you cannot turn the motor directly. The clutch is designed to keep the motor postion set until you turn the wheel! That is the point of this helm!

3.0 out of 5 stars Acceptable replacement, September 17, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I bought the rotary steering as a replacement for an old Teleflex rack and pinion system that went bad. The rotary system has more resistance in the cable and drum and is called "no feedback" because of this increased resistance. You will not feel the motor twisting against your hand like the rack and pinion system did ... the down side is ... it is stiffer to turn and ... there is no feedback from the motor. With the rotary NFB system, you will no longer be able to grab the motor and turn it and the steering system if you want to adjust or straighten the motor while it is sitting on the trailer at home.


The standard steering wheel for this system is 13" instead of the 14" size Teleflex used on the rack and pinion set ups. With the increased resistance, I wish I had looked around for a 14" instead of using the standard 13" wheel. You will probably pay more, but it will be easier to use.
