I'm planning on installing a Lewmar folding wheel on our boat.
Can anyone verify whether the steering wheel shaft on a 2003 model year boat (hull 53) is a 1" tapered shaft or 1" straight shaft. The parts breakdown figure I found on the Edson site shows a tapered shaft for our pedestal. I won't be up to the boat for a couple of months, so can't verify this.
Mauri Pro Sailing does sell the one that has an extra hub, and fits both shafts for a decent price. It also lists one that just fits a tapered shaft for 80 bucks less, so if it is a tapered shaft I'd rather save a few bucks.
Thanks.

Confirmed - Tapered on our 2005 Mk1
We have the Lewmar folding wheel and love it.

Does anyone have pictures of a folding wheel installed and folded on their C350? I’m seriously contemplating this upgrade but unsure of how much real estate it would really recover.

If you sail by yourself, no. If you sail with others,yes.
