It looks like he has a teal colored raised helm seat. Something I have been debating

So I was about to dremel the swage fitting to fix my pedestal steering, then I thought I should have another set of eyes look at this. I called a nearby yard and within two hours my steering is repaired. Looks like I will be sailing this weekend!

Thanks so much for your opinions guys. I was going to go the hacksaw route, the Dremel or angle grinder and a couple of visegrips sounds like a much better plan.

I still have all these parts for sale except for the steering wheel nut that I must have misplaced.

I am not an expert on exactly what would be needed. You can try this link as they have documentation on what may be required: http://www.edsonmarine.com/support/wheel_conversion/index.php I do know that you would need at a minimum a quadrant, cables, pulleys and a wheel but again I am no...

As of 3/15/2011 I still have all of the items. I have one person asking his first mate for permission to buy. I was hoping to sell all of the items together as it would be easier but I may have to sell in pieces.

I thought I would bring this to the top I still have all these items as of today 2/23/11. If your interested let me know.

Thanks Tilwinter. When you say it is attached to the post next to the turning block...do you mean the post attached to the car the turning block is on, making it adjustable?
