  • Marine electric power steering system with cable assembly
    Patent number: 10167070
    Abstract: A marine electric power steering system includes an actuator assembly, a gear assembly, and a cable assembly. The actuator assembly has an actuator assembly input and an actuator assembly output. The actuator assembly input is operatively connected to a steering shaft that extends along a steering column axis. The gear assembly includes a first gear that is driven by a second gear and a crank arm extending from the first gear. The cable assembly extends from an end of the crank arm to a steering device.
