Mechanical Steering Systems

STICK STEERING—EZY-STIK® II MODEL 840 and EZY-STIK® III MODEL 870

Slower Ratio = Added Mechanical Advantage for High Horsepower Engines

Ezy-Stik® II Model 840

The Classic Ezy-Stik® Steering System! The Ezy-Stik® II Model 840 is the standard for convenience. The slower ratio of the Ezy-Stik® II provides the added mechanical advantage needed for higher horsepower engines as well as 4-stroke engines. The Ezy-Stik® II Model 840 has a manufacturer’s maximum horsepower rating of 70hp/90hp Jet. Available in ANY LENGTH cable in 6 inch increments.  Ezy-Glide only recommends 80 Below® Action Lube Ezy-Stik lubrication. For more info click here: 80 Below® Lubricant.

SPECIFICATIONS:

  • Total lever movement: 58 inches/206 degrees

  • Steering ratio: 6.4/1

  • Housing dimensions: approximately 6” x 6”

  • Ezy-Stik® systems are designed to be mounted towards the port side only.

  • Lever length: 16” (20” lever option also available at additional cost)

Each Ezy-Stik® II 840 complete system includes:

  • Ezy-Stik® II 840 Steering Helm

  • Lever & Hardware Pack for Ezy-Stik® II 840- System (HP-2000)

  • Steering Cable (We can manufacture any length cable that you need in 1/2 foot (6 inch) increments)

Quicker Turning Ratio = Faster Response & Shorter Travel Distance

Ezy-Stik® III Model 870

The Ezy-Stik® III Model 870 has a quicker turning ratio which provides faster response and a shorter travel distance from lock to lock. The Ezy-Stik® III Model 870 has a horsepower rating of 70hp/90hp Jet. Available in ANY LENGTH cable in 6 inch increments. Due to the fact that 4-stroke engines transfer more negative torque feedback to the operator, if the engine is a 4-stroke over 40hp, the Ezy-Stik® II Model 840 should be considered over the Model 870. Ezy-Glide only recommends 80 Below® Action Lube for Ezy-Stik lubrication. For more info click here: 80 Below® Lubricant.

SPECIFICATIONS:

  • Total lever movement: 44.8 inches/ 161 degrees

  • Steering ratio: 5.0/1

  • Ezy-Stik® systems are designed to be mounted towards the port side only

  • Housing dimensions: approximately 7 ½” x 7½”

  • Lever length: 16” (20” lever option also available at additional cost)

Each Ezy-Stik® III 870 complete system includes:

  • Ezy-Stik® III 870 Steering Helm

  • Lever & Hardware Pack for Ezy-Stik® III 870 System (HP-3000)

  • Steering Cable (We can manufacture any length cable that you need in 1/2 foot (6 inch) increments)

DETERMINING CABLE LENGTH

REPLACING AN EXISTING CABLE WITH THE SAME LENGTH
Look on the black cable casing near the engine end of the cable for a stamp containing cable length similar to one of the photos below.

How To Measure Cable Length Needed

We can manufacture any length cable needed in 1/2 foot (6 inch) increments.
All systems and cables are the same price up to 15'.
Add $3.00 per additional foot for any length over 15’.

MEASURE AND ADD 8 INCHES
Measure from the center of the helm position to the center of the engine and add 8” to this measurement.

ROUND UP YOUR MEASUREMENT
If your measurement falls exactly on a 6-inch increment (e.g., 12' or 12'6"), order that exact length. If your measurement falls between 6-inch increments, round up to the nearest half-foot. Example: A 12'2" measurement should order a 12½' cable.

When Ordering A System

Ezy-Stik® part numbers include the Ezy-Stik® model number and the 4-digit cable length.

EXAMPLE
Part Number = 840-1250

Part Number Breakdown:

  • 840 = Ezy-Stik® II Model number (Ezy-Stik® III is Model 870)

  • 1250 = Cable length in 1/2 foot measurement (i.e. 12.50 feet)

Other Examples: 9' cable = 840-0900, 12' cable = 840-1200, 13.5' cable = 840-1350
