I just bought a 1977, Irwin 37' ketch, the pedestal is very, very shakey. I will beef up the backing plate and would like to add a pedestal guard like an Edson offset and attache it to the shakey pedestal for added support and also to mount electronics. Has anyone done this, if so how did it fit etc. and any other hints would be very much jappreciated. Thanks Bill Sloanb, Hernando BeachFla. rsloan3@tampabay.rr.com
