Hi Rob, If you are in salt water, plan on replacing the idler pulley bracket. The existing bracket is mild steel, and where it sits on our boats is exposed to salt air. By the way, I had to send. My old bracket to Edson so they could reuse the pulleys because the new ones that came with the new aluminum bracket were too large. You will also have an issue with the new bracket being thicker than the old one and holding the binnacle up a bit higher on the deck than before. You may therefore have to make a spacer out of a piece of UHMW plastic. It's a PITA job, but way better than having the steering fail.
Feel free to call me if you want more info.
