Today, my steering wheel brake knob fell off (2002 Hunter 290). After removing the top of the pedestal, it is clear that I will never retrieve the parts that connected the brake to the wheel/gear assembly. I can't figure how it attaches..seems to be two solid rods with a missing connector of some sort. Anyone else had this problem or any suggestions. I never use the brake much anyway, but would like to find replacement parts. I will try to contact Edson customer service in next few days and order the connector.

brake - not...

There is traditionally a pin that prevents the brake shaft (that attaches to the brake knob) from unscrewing completely.... Edson is a great source to get replacement parts.... however... I would also contact Hunter since your boat is fairly new... the brake was not assembled properly.... I have overhauled my brake system and it is easy to forget to put the stopper on the brake shaft.... good luck...
