Does anyone know if a pedestal steering wheel brake was standard on a 1984 27' Hunter. On my pedestal (right side) it looks like may be a brake was was mounted but I can't tell because what ever was there is broken off.

Why not look

Why not look inside and see if the brake bands are on both sides of the shaft for the wheel. All the best, Robert Gainer

Chances are...

...the binnacle was built with a wheel break on the starboard side (my '86 model did). Chances are that it was manufactured by Yacht Specialties/Merriman (defunct) and that some of the inner components may be salvageable. Maybe. If you stumble upon a used, serviceable wheel brake that fits...buy a lottery ticket asap. Luck like that deserves a reward. Good luck.
