These great features include a one piece stainless steel drive spool, and reinforced composite housing. The Model 870 has been developed due to the increased demand for a system with quicker response and shorter lock-to-lock travel distance. The quicker turning ratio provides a faster response and a shorter travel distance from lock to lock.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDue to the fact that 4-stroke engines transfer more negative torque feedback to the operator, if the engine is a 4-stroke over 40 HP, the Ezy-Stik II Model 840 should be considered over the Model 870. Although the 870 has a horsepower rating of 70HP\/90HP Jet, it is not recommended for 4-stroke engines over 40 HP.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis system is rated for:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOutboard engines not to exceed 70 HP\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJet drives not to exceed 90 HP\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTotal lever movement: 44.8 inches\/161 degrees\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSteering ratio: 5.0\/1\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHousing dimensions: Approx. 7-1\/2\" x 7-1\/2\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLever length: 16\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHow to Measure a New System or Replacement Cable Length from EZY-Glide\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMeasure from the center of the helm position to the center of the engine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAdd 8\" to this measurement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRound up your system length measurement to the nearest 1\/2 foot.

The EZY-Glide EZY-Stik III Model 870 is a mechanical steering system designed for outboard engines up to 70 HP and jet drives up to 90 HP. Its quicker steering ratio provides faster response and shorter lock-to-lock travel compared with systems designed with a slower turning ratio.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat horsepower engines are compatible with the EZY-Glide EZY-Stik III Model 870? The Model 870 is rated for outboard engines not exceeding 70 HP and jet drives not exceeding 90 HP. However, it is not recommended for 4-stroke engines over 40 HP because these engines transfer more negative torque feedback to the operator.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhy does the EZY-Glide Model 870 provide quicker steering response? The Model 870 was developed with a quicker turning ratio to provide faster steering response and a shorter travel distance from lock to lock. Its steering ratio is 5.0:1, with total lever movement of 44.8 inches and 161 degrees.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat are the main construction features of the EZY-Glide EZY-Stik III Model 870? The EZY-Stik III Model 870 incorporates a one-piece stainless steel drive spool and reinforced composite housing. The housing measures approximately 7-1\/2 inches by 7-1\/2 inches, and the lever length is 16 inches.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow do I determine the correct cable length for the EZY-Glide Model 870? Measure from the center of the helm position to the center of the engine, then add 8 inches. Round the resulting system length up to the nearest 1\/2 foot. For example, a measurement of 12 feet 2 inches would require ordering a 12-1\/2-foot cable.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat should I consider before choosing the EZY-Glide Model 870 for a 4-stroke engine? If the outboard is a 4-stroke engine over 40 HP, the Model 870 is not recommended even though its overall rating reaches 70 HP. The product description recommends considering the Ezy-Stik II Model 840 instead for 4-stroke engines over 40 HP.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Ezy-Glide","offers":[{"title":"10'","offer_id":50581650833666,"sku":"EZG-870-1000","price":532.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10.5'","offer_id":50581650866434,"sku":"EZG-870-1050","price":532.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"11'","offer_id":50581650899202,"sku":"EZG-870-1100","price":532.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"11.5'","offer_id":50581650931970,"sku":"EZG-870-1150","price":532.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12'","offer_id":50581650964738,"sku":"EZG-870-1200","price":532.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12.5'","offer_id":50581650997506,"sku":"EZG-870-1250","price":532.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"13'","offer_id":50581651030274,"sku":"EZG-870-1300","price":532.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"13.5'","offer_id":50581651063042,"sku":"EZG-870-1350","price":532.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"14'","offer_id":50581651095810,"sku":"EZG-870-1400","price":532.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"14.5'","offer_id":50581651128578,"sku":"EZG-870-1450","price":532.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"15'","offer_id":50581651161346,"sku":"EZG-870-1500","price":532.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0842\/3024\/2562\/files\/870-1000__31049.1737852679_0e5e6547-cc8d-47cd-9648-cbbcfc652739.jpg?v=1791077960","url":"https:\/\/allmarineworld.com\/products\/ezy-glide-ezy-stik-iii-model-870-mechanical-steering-kit","provider":"All Marine World","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
