Its purpose is to maintain parallel alignment of the engines during turns, stabilize geometry, and provide more predictable steering response during port maneuvers and at higher speeds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe design is adjustable for engine spacing (center-to-center) and allows independent trimming\/tilting of the drive units while maintaining controlled 'linking' of the engines during turns.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApplication: \u003cstrong\u003etwin outboard\u003c\/strong\u003e (2 engines) + \u003cstrong\u003esingle cylinder\u003c\/strong\u003e (1 hydraulic actuator).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSystem compatibility: for systems with actuator \u003cstrong\u003eUC128-OBF\u003c\/strong\u003e or \u003cstrong\u003eUC130-SVS\u003c\/strong\u003e (front mount).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLength adjustment: fitting to engine spacing within a specified range.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndependent engine trimming capability (without 'rigid' tilt locking).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStainless steel components for marine environments; corrosion-resistant ball joints.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduct Type: Synchronization Rod (tie bar kit) for installation of 2 outboard motors.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eControl Configuration: 2 engines + 1 hydraulic actuator (single front-mount cylinder).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible Actuators (typical application): UC128-OBF, UC130-SVS (front mount).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEngine Spacing Range (center-to-center): 29\" – 34.5\" (736.6 – 873.76mm).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdjustment: Adjustable rod (fitting before or after installation, within range limits).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterials: Stainless steel components; electropolished stainless steel ball joints.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApplications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBoats with two outboard engines, where steering is managed by a single hydraulic actuator (front mount).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUpgrade of steering systems: improving turn geometry and stability.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInstallations requiring adjustable spacing in the range of 736.6–873.76mm (29–34.5\").\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBenefits of Choosing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConsistent turn of both engines, easier maneuvers, and more predictable steering response.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMore stable geometry at cruising speeds and during course corrections.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndependent engine trimming, facilitating optimal drive performance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCorrosion resistance due to stainless components and electropolished joints.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstallation Notes (Important)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe position of the tiller arm varies between engine models, and the spacing may not always be 'ideal' in practice.
