steering

I recently purchased an Express 35' named Phoenix - it may have been in the forum in the past. The surveyor made a recommendation that there should be stops at the 36 degrees either side of center for the rudder stops. You can see the pin on the quadrant in the picture (apologies again if...

I have a 1998 Beneteau Oceanis 381 and just purchased it last September. I moved it with the help of experienced sailors from Rhode Island to Massachusetts, totaling about 20 hours of mostly motoring due to a lack of wind, and had no issues or concerns from my more experienced friends. The boat...

I have the Edson steering pedestal and wondering if anyone has had this same problem. I was sailing in a fairly strong breeze and heard a crack, lost all steering and at first thought the rudder had snapped. Dropped sails and the anchor while I figured out the issue. What had actually happened...

Hello all, This is my first post here, so glad to be joining this awesome community :) I'm having an issue with the Edson steering system on my new-to-me 1996 Catalina 250. I'm planning to call Edson's customer service, which I read good things about, but I thought it would be easier to explain...

I’ve got a 1980 Hunter 30 Cherubini that I’m doing a steering pedestal overhaul on. As part of this I‘ve removed the two big instrument enclosures on either side of the pedestal that housed broken LCD displays for depth and speed - I can get this info off the Garmin display that will mount on...

I’ve got a 1980 Hunter 30 (Cherubini) - in the process of overhauling its steering pedestal. I’m planning on replacing the broken control head with this part. Need to replace the compass too because it’s broken and looking for a way to mount it to the control head. Originally there was a sort of...

I have been trying, unsuccessfully, to locate a steering maintenance guide for the rack and pinion system on our Hunter 33. Prior to purchasing the boat several months ago, it had not moved from its slip for at least 3 years and as a consequence, the steering is extremely stiff. Unfortunately...

I've just picked up 27' Lancer Power sail and took her yesterday for the first time. She was neglected for 3 years, tied up in the marina and had the bare minimum of attention. After a couple full days getting her cleaned up,(new fuel, surveyed all the lines, sails etc) she was in great shape...

Does anyone know the specific part number for the Edson steering cable for an O'Day 272LE. The cable on mine has snapped.

the steering wheel on mye Beneteau 350 (1997) is sliding back and forth in the pedestal. I cannot see what is missing or if anyting is actually missing on the axle. Should the chain be moved forward or should there be a sleeve or something stopping the axle to slide? I very much appreciate some...

I have a 2000 Macgregor 26X with an Evinrude 50 HP engine. A nut on the steering linkage has corroded and broken off rendering the steering system useless. The nut is located on the outside of the boat, in front of the engine and connects the steering wheel linkage to the engine and rudder...

Hi folks, I just picked up a 1989 Pearson 27. Two weeks ago before we sailed the vessel home, a wonderful four-hour journey to port, I had some work done to re-bed the steering column as there was a leak into the aft cabin. During the process, the vendor needed to disconnect the pedestal and...
