Ezy-Glide 10.5 foot Replacement Cable for Ezy-Stik 830 840 & 870

EZY-Glide EZY-Stik Replacement Cable

When it's time to replace the cable on your EZY-Glide EZY-Stik mechanical steering system, getting the right fit matters. These replacement cables work specifically with EZY-Stik II 840 and EZY-Stik III 870 systems. To determine the correct length, measure from your helm's center to the engine's center, add 8 inches, then round up to the nearest half foot. These cables are kept in stock for same-day shipping, getting you back on the water quickly. Note that these cables are designed exclusively for EZY-Glide EZY-Stik systems and aren't compatible with other steering brands.

How to Measure a Replacement Cable Length from EZY-Glide:

• Measure from the center of the helm position to the center of the engine. 
• Add 8" to this measurement.
• Round up your system length measurement to the nearest 1/2 foot. (For example, a 12'2" measurement would order a 12-1/2' cable)

Frequently Asked Questions

What steering systems is this cable compatible with?

This cable is for the EZY-Glide EZY-Stik II Model 840 and EZY-Stik III Model 870 mechanical steering systems. It will not work with any other steering brand or model. If you have a different stick steering system or a standard rotary/rack helm, this is not the correct cable. Check the model designation on your helm before ordering.

How do I measure for the correct cable length?

EZY-Glide uses a different measurement method than most other steering cable brands. Measure from the center of your helm position to the center of the engine, add 8 inches to that measurement, then round up to the nearest half foot. For example, a measurement of 12 feet 2 inches becomes a 12.5-foot cable order. Cables are available in half-foot increments from 7 to 15 feet.

Why does this cable use a different measurement method than standard steering cables?

The EZY-Stik is a stick-steering system mounted forward of the operator rather than at a conventional wheel helm, so the cable routing geometry differs from a typical rotary or rack-and-pinion setup. The 8-inch add-on accounts for the connection geometry specific to the EZY-Stik design. Using a standard steering cable measurement method on this system will result in an incorrectly sized cable.

What engine sizes are the EZY-Stik systems this cable fits rated for?

The EZY-Stik II Model 840 and EZY-Stik III Model 870 are for outboard engines up to 70 HP and jet drives up to 90 HP. If your engine exceeds these ratings, the EZY-Stik mechanical system, and by extension this replacement cable, is not appropriate for your application.

Can I use a SeaStar, Teleflex, or other brand cable as a substitute?

No. This cable is engineered for EZY-Glide EZY-Stik systems and uses proprietary end connections that are not interchangeable with SeaStar, Dometic, Quicksilver, or other standard marine cable types. Using a non-EZY-Glide cable on an EZY-Stik helm will result in improper fitment and potentially unsafe steering.
