Edson Steering

[rjengelhart]

Hi,

Relatively new owner of hull 464. Still going over all the brochures and systems, and don't have a brochure for the Edson steering system.

Doing a search on Edson's home page, I found an owners' manual for an Edson CDi™ Steering System. Is this the system installed by Catalina?

Anything in particular I should check out before I climb into the locker for a visual?

Thanks.

Bob, here's a link that covers maintenance of the steering system. It's the very last page of the document.
There's not a lot to do. Over time the cables will stretch so if you've got any slack in your steering it details how to re-tension the cables. There's also mention of lubing the sheave bearings, inspecting the wire cable for wear and/or fraying, checking bolts for tightness and inspecting cotter pins.

Thank you Ken. Will read and get to work.

Does anyone know which Edson chain and cable kit to purchase for the C350?
