How to Install a Sierra Teleflex Safe-T QC Steering System - Boston Whaler Restoration Part 20

In this video, I cover how to install a Sierra/Teleflex Safe-T QC Steering system on my Boston Whaler 13 Restoration. This is a complete installation from Helm to engine. I'll have some videos of the test runs on the water soon!

In this video I mentioned that I would provide some History on Teleflex ownership. To the best of what I've been able to find, here it goes!
Teleflex - Started in 1943, (Spitfire Radio controls, later focused on medical technology
Teleflex Divested "Teleflex Marine" Business in 2011,
Sold to HIG Capital
2013 Teleflex Marine changes name to "Seastar Solutions"
2014 Seastar solutions sold to American Securities LLC
2017 American Securities sells Seastar Solutions to Dometic Inc
2019 Dometic Groups changes name of "Seastar Solution" to Dometic Marine
And technically that's where it stands now. Although one interesting fact is that Sierra International, who makes quality and dependable marine engine parts is part of the Seastar Dometic group. I could not find any information regarding that!
