Upgrade your boat’s steering with the Uflex MasterDrive MD32FM Retrofit Kit, a high-performance hydraulic steering system designed for single-station installations with a single hydraulic cylinder. This kit delivers smooth, precise, and responsive steering, reducing helm effort and improving control for powerboats of all sizes.
The MD32FM retrofit kit is ideal for replacing older mechanical or rotary steering systems, or for upgrading existing hydraulic setups. Featuring the proven MasterDrive helm and a high-quality Uflex hydraulic cylinder, this kit ensures consistent hydraulic pressure, reliable operation, and long-term durability in both freshwater and saltwater environments.
With its compact, ergonomic design, the MD32FM kit allows easy installation in most center console, offshore, or sport boats. The system’s construction uses marine-grade materials to resist corrosion and withstand harsh marine conditions, providing a long-lasting, maintenance-free steering solution.
Selectable Power Levels: Features three different patented levels of power assistance. This allows the driver to customize the "steering feel" and resistance based on their preference and sea conditions.
Torque Elimination: The system is specifically engineered to eliminate steering torque at the wheel, making it ideal for high-speed or high-torque outboard applications where manual steering would be physically demanding.
Safety First Design: In the event of an electrical power failure, the system automatically reverts to manual hydraulic mode, ensuring you never lose the ability to steer the vessel.
Highly Efficient: The 12V DC power unit is designed for low amp draw and low noise, and it is ignition-protected (SAE J-1171) for safe use in outboard engine compartments.
Autopilot Ready: The system is fully compatible with most modern autopilot systems and can be expanded for use in dual-station (flybridge) installations.
This is a retrofit kit, meaning it includes the core power components to upgrade your current setup. It typically includes:
UH32-F Front Mount Master Helm: A 32cc high-precision hydraulic helm.
UPMD Power Unit: The 12V power assistance motor with a 15' (4.5m) wiring harness.
UCMD User Interface: A digital panel with a "smart button" for power level selection and system monitoring.
Helm Displacement: 32 cc (1.95 cu in) per revolution.
Voltage: 12V DC.
Standard Compliance: CE marked; conforms to ABYC P21 and ISO 10592 safety standards.

Installation documentation
This kit is a retrofit package and does not include everything needed for a brand-new install. You will need to ensure you have or purchase the following separately:
Hydraulic Cylinders: It is designed to work with Uflex UC128-SVS or equivalent cylinders.
Hose Kits: You will need SilverSteer™ high-pressure hoses for both the helm-to-power unit and power-unit-to-cylinder connections.
Hydraulic Oil: Requires high-performance hydraulic fluid (e.g., Uflex Olioflex).
