On my H466 the locking button for the steering wheel is not functionning. Has someone had the same problem and how to solve it ?
How to lock the wheel ?

If you are trying to stop the wheel from rotating at anchor, I use a bungy through the wheel spokes and looped around the console. This is actually an old picture- I now loop the bungy around the metal handhold so that it cannot move. Be aware that if your wheel is covered in leather, eventually you will get chafe and wear from the bungy.
Thanks, but I have a "brake" screw on the side of the steering column, but it seems not to function... how can I fix it, so it will work?
Is it an Edson pedestal? If so you may be able to replace the brake pads with instructions like these: Edson wheel brake replacement
Pads are part of the brake maintenance kit here too:Edson Marine Pedestal Maintenance Kits

I had the same problem on my 410. It is not a minor procedure to dismantel the brake but it can be done. I actually did not need to pads but just adjusted the brake after removal and it works fine now.
