[Rhodes22-list] Bill North -- steering harness for Rhodes 22

[ed kroposki]

Bill:

 

     There have been at least two Rhodes22's with steering wheels.  One was
back at Edenton for an extended stay.  Word on the water is that Stan
removed the wheel and put a tiller back in so that he could resell it. This
was referred to as the Red Wheel boat.

 

     The other one, a white one, is supposed to be in Canada.

 

     But, as Michael has already said, Stan (also known as Mr. Fixit) has a
linkage system to solve your problem.  Get your motor thru Stan and have him
install the leakage system at the same time.  There are quite a few of the
linkage systems out there.  Also, he can install the motor controls on the
inside of the cockpit (Often on the tiller).  Imagine all the controls in
your hand.  Since you are talking about a new motor anyway, get the maestro
of the Rhodes22 to get it the way you need it.

  

     Since you are in Virginia, why not hop in your car, visit Edenton and
take Stan and Rose out to dinner and discuss what he can do for you.  Cash
in hand would lubricate the process.

better place than me answering in a vacuum.

Greetings, We are interested in having a boatyard install a steering wheel
and steering cable/harness on our 1988 Rhodes 22 which would enable us to
more easily steer our outboard motor when we move in an out of our tight
port.  It can be awkward to reach around the rigging to steer by hand.  We
currently have the General Boats' installed motor lift and plan to buy a new
Honda 9 hrp outboard motor.  

     Our question is what type of steering gizmos/harness, etc would be best
and what are the concerns with having one installed?  .  Also, what company
would sell the steering apparatas?  Installation would be done by a boatyard
as this is beyond our experience.   (Unless we can talk Stan into to coming
to Virgina to install it!) Thanks for your assistance.  Regards, Bill North,
King George, Va
