No Feed Back

NFB helms have a clutch system that locks the steering when you are not

turning the wheel and automatically releases the clutch when you turn the

wheel again. Thus eliminating feedback.

Cable Length

Click here for cable length measurement

Use the link above to HELP calculate cable length requirement.

These instructions are in imperial sizes. Calculate length in feet and

inches and convert to metres. Cables are available from 2.00 metres in

0.25 metre increments. Use the next size above the calculated length.

To identify an existing cable:

Most cables are marked with part number and length on the cable jacket

towards one end of the cable. The measurement of a cable is taken from

the point the cable attaches to the helm to the end of the cable in the

mid stroke position. (as example below)
