[Rhodes22-list] Installation of Edson wheel steering

[The Rhodes 22 Email List]

I have to agree with Bob on this. The tiller gives much more feel plus quicker response than a wheel. Also you lose a lot of cockpit space & the ability to easily set up the table outdoors. This would hamper our sunset cocktail hour on the mooring. 

Having said that, I do have a Rhodes 22 moored near me @ Squantum Yacht Club with wheel steering & an inboard engine in the lazerette with a sail drive unit. I can try and contact the owner as I am not sure if he is on the list.

>> Hello all. I am the new owner of a 1993 Rhodes 22 which I am converting to wheeled steering. I wonder if any one has done this or has a Rhodes 22 with the Edson wheeled steering package. I am looking for any advice as to how forward of the lazeratte I should place the steering post. I have ordered a 22 inch wheel and I am thinking the steering post and guard should be 22 inches forward of the lazeratte, but I am not at all sure.Any advice and experience with this would be greatly appreciated.Brent
