Hi, I'm thinking about adding an Edson Wheel conversion and was wondering if anyone has done the conversion, or has any experiance with the outside rudder steering system (factory installed). Thanks in advance Dave Simpson/Seeadler

Wheel Steering Conversion

Hi Dave, I have an O'Day 25 that has Edson wheel steering, it was on the boat when I got it. Having been a tiller user for a long time it took a little getting used to, you don't have the minute response signals you get with a tiller. The only real advantage is being able to let go of the wheel for extended periods without having to use a tiller tamer. The very real disadvantage is the wheel and post take up a great deal of cockpit space! Terry
