When consumers picture their dream boats, they tend to think of flashy aesthetics like streamlined bow, spacious deck, and even the color and feel of the upholstery. And let’s not forget about horsepower.

But when it comes to enjoying your time on the water, no matter how sweet those other parts are, the steering and control systems can make or break your ride. These vital components aren’t necessarily flashy, but you can’t enjoy your boat without them.

Steering and control systems form the foundation of a captain’s relationship with his or her boat. A stiff throttle or a loose wheel can add unnecessary frustration to every trip out. But when the steering and control systems work smoothly and feel right, it’s as if the boat is an extension of yourself—moving effortlessly and responding smoothly to every adjustment.

That’s what you get with Uflex steering and control systems.

What kind of boat control systems does Uflex manufacture?

All of our controls exceed EN ISO 11547 standards (when X12 safety switch is installed), in order to prevent motors from being started in high gear.

If flashy is important to you, Uflex control systems have got that, too. Our systems come in a wide variety of sleek designs and ergonomic considerations with corrosion-resistant materials that will highlight the look of your dream boat while withstanding the elements.
