I installed the teleflex 4.2 NFB system last year when I overhauled my pontoon and love it. It has a clutch/brake inside that won't allow the engine to turn without input from the driver and the "4.2" turns lock to lock make for easy steering effort on my 70hp compared to the old "3" turn lock to lock on my old helm

Thanks for the input,are those [clutch / brake] setups problematic in any way, do they hold up?
