The Mavi Mare A.245 adjustable steering link arm provides a critical connection between your boat’s steering cable and outboard engine, ensuring a secure and flexible linkage for control. Crafted from high-grade stainless steel, this link arm is built to resist corrosion and harsh marine conditions, making it suitable for use in both freshwater and saltwater environments. Its adjustable length (approximately 265–315 mm) accommodates various installation distances and configurations, allowing you to achieve an optimal fit for your vessel’s steering setup.
During installation, the steering cable typically runs through the engine’s tilt tube (in boats with through-tube mechanical steering) and attaches to this link arm via the included locking nut. This design prevents the cable from slipping or detaching, ensuring that input from the helm is transmitted directly to the engine without any slack. The link’s universal design means it can be employed with a wide range of outboard motors – from smaller 15–20 HP engines up to larger models around 150–200 HP that still utilize cable steering (engines beyond ~200 HP often use hydraulic steering, but for all smaller units this link arm is an excellent solution).
Use & Recommendations: This adjustable link arm is ideal for small to medium boats – for example, runabouts, fishing skiffs, RIBs, and other vessels up to roughly 6–7 meters in length – that are equipped with mechanical (cable) steering systems. It is suitable both for new steering installations and as a replacement/upgrade for a worn or damaged factory steering link rod. Ease of installation and rugged build quality make it a preferred choice among boat owners: you’ll notice more direct and smooth steering response, with less “play” or engine wobble when you turn the wheel. This improved responsiveness enhances safety at higher speeds and precision when maneuvering in tight quarters. With the universal A.245 link arm installed, your boat will respond more crisply to steering inputs, giving you greater confidence and control on the water.
