Zero Torque Feedback Tiller Steering System - Model Y1 for Yamaha 90-115 HP Outboards

ZTF – Zero Torque Feedback
Modern four-stroke outboard engines generate such high torque loads that they can make tiller-steered outboards difficult to maintain on a straight heading. This is because the torque generated by the propeller continuously makes the boat want to turn to one side (left or right, depending on prop rotation). Fighting this constant tendency to turn can be very tiring.
When not making a course adjustment, you can still rest your hand on the tiller and the valve will remain closed, locking out the propeller torque and providing effortless boat operation.

The Uflex Zero Torque Feedback Tiller System eliminates propeller torque at the tiller handle whenever the driver is not actively steering to make a course change. This enables the operator to maintain the correct course without excessive physical effort.

The ZTF system accomplishes this via a patented hydraulic valve that locks out prop torque and prevents it from reaching the tiller handle unless the driver pushes or pulls on the end of the handle to turn the boat. (See image.)
At that point the hydraulic valve instantly opens, unlocking the tiller to allow for making course changes. (Note that during the course change the propeller torque will be felt on the tiller handle, requiring a firm grip on the tiller handle when actively steering.)

With the Zero Torque Feedback System you can drive your tiller steered outboard boat in comfort, saving your energy for reeling in fish rather than having to work hard to just get to your favorite fishing spot.
