ZERO TORQUE ZTF-Tiller T1 Tohatsu Outboards
Tohatsu® Tiller MFS 75-140HP Mega Outboards.
Tiller
steered boats are labor intensive to steer due to the constant load on
the tiller from propeller torque, and the fact that the operator is
positioned (while driving the boat) in such a way that maintaining
control requires physical effort not customary in everyday activities.
The
higher torque of today’s four stroke engines has naturally increased
the load on the tiller as compared to two strokes. Though engine
horsepower on tiller steered boats may not have changed, the difficulty
in controlling these boats has increased.
Having
a system that locks out the torque while the boat is not actively being
steered is a desirable feature that has been implemented on larger
engines by engine manufacturers.
The
solution is the ZERO TORQUE Tiller System which consists of a hydraulic
cylinder with a control valve that opens and closes following to the
operation made on the handle. The valve closes when the steering effort
by the driver is stopped; as a consequence the cylinder locks the
steering position.
This
item is the complete Assembly which includes Cylinder, Valves, Hoses
and Bracket for the New T1 Tiller for Tohatsu Tiller Steered Outboards.
