pedestal steerer - L-36 Fleet

Cockpits are at their best when they have a strong, conve-
nient hand hold. Edson guards are available in wide and narrow
models. The guard is designed to protect the compass from
falling crew members and to keep lines clear of the compass.
The Narrow Guard allows crew members to easily slide past,
and the Wide Guard is excellent for wide cockpits or where the
pedestal is located against a bridge deck. It affords extra pro-
tection on those boats with a main sheet or traveller just for-
ward of the pedestal. Both Narrow and Wide Guards are also
available for the bridge deck or seat risers. These offer an ex-
cellent hand hold when coming up out of the companionway or
stepping athwartships. Edson guards are also excellent for
mounting binocular holders, teak cockpit tables, winch handle
holders, and cockpit umbrellas.

' hake Plate-, - WRAP AROUND FRICTION BRAKE FOR PEDESTAL STEERERS
The most popular accessory for all steerers.
Brakes are designed to dampen the action of the
wheel, especially handy on long runs orwhen operating
under power. Can also be used to hold the boat on
course under most conditions while the helmsman
trims that sheet or goes below. As a safety feature,
the brake can always be overridden by the helmsman.
All mounting holes in the steerers are predrilled
at the factory, allowing simple installation in
about 15 minutes. Brakes are constructed of bronze
with long lasting brake lining, and supplied with
stainless steel shaft and shiny black brake handle.
The handle is designed to "pop" if a line gets tangled,
an added safety feature. When the boat is unattended,
secure the wheel with the brake. In rough
weather, the rudder can swing violently from stop to
stop causing damage. Note: If you do not own a

wheel brake you must tie off your wheel, at no time
should your wheel be allowed to swing free as it y could damage your steering system.
