I have a santana 30 1976 with a Yacht Specialties steering system which needs a 13 tooth chain gear for a 1" wheel axle. Does anyone know where I can get one. I am in the Rhode Island area. Thanks and fast sailing. Carl Gross

Have you checked with Edson?

Carl: I do not know if Edson has a similar part, but you may want to check with them. There may be some of these parts available in the boat junk yards too. If that does not work, take the part to a machine shop and see if the can machine you one.

We have a YS steering system on our boat which, also, needed some replacement parts. After doing some research I found out that Edson had bought the assets of YS when they went out of business. I checked with Edson regarding replacement parts without any success. Edson was selling YS parts inventory until depleted and was not making any new parts. They did not have the part we were looking for and to try to rig up something with Edson parts was going to cost more than buying a new Edson system (probably the reason Edson doesn't make the YS parts). Anyway, we went to a machine shop and had a new part fabricated. Edson people I talked to were very helpful and informative so you should try them first - you may get lucky. They are located in the New Bedford area. Good luck. Jay Tracy
