Looking to replace my 28" Destroyer wheel.
Existing Edson pedestal on my 1986 Catalina 30 Mark 1 TR.
Want to scale down at least to a 22 or even a 20".
My only complaint about the C30 design is the narrow clearance around the wheel.
Every time I walk past it I whack my knee or have to swing around the pedestal while I'm trying to get past it.
My C30 Mentor says the 20 will be too small when it blows, 22" should work.
Local lake fresh water, Not scared of wind, but above 25 I'm dropping sails and motoring back to the house.
Any help on the shaft size on the wheel hub? I found a pdf on Edson site says it is a tapered shaft, Think it is a 1" shaft with a 3/4 nut, as best as I am able to determine.
Can someone far more experienced than me give me some input on wheel sizing and the shaft.
Tks,
