Key is only to keep wheel from slipping when you turn it. The key can come out 
or stay.  I think mine came off with the wheel and i had a heck of a time 
getting it to stay put when putting wheel back on. But thats my understanding 
of what keys do. Lol.Sent from my Samsung Galaxy smartphone.

Wow nice work ! So does the key need to come out to get wheel off? This is only 
to hold wheel in alignmnet not to hold wheel on shaft correct? Would love to 
powder coat the pedestal and old shifter and throttle cables are working but 
quite stiff. 
Just want to get the wheel off so I can fix Auto pilot and head out for some 
solo sailing on the Neuse. The weather and wind is perfect ! 
I continue to distance, (if i ever go out) and obey all rules and local 
restrictions

Been a while since I pulled my wheel, but it is a square steel key.  My wheel

but I don't recall it giving me any grief about leaving the shaft.

I replaced bearings, chain cables, built new shift levers and had the whole 
thing re-powder coated when I did mine.

Hi,
Silly question here but doing some Maintenance on the crunchy  AutoHelm ST4000,

BUT the Silly Edson Wheel! after nut removal,  wheel slides out (snug but 
easily) to a certain point just past spokes, and sticks there?  Almost like its 
tapered?  You can see in picture here the Keyway ?

Does this key need to be removed/loosened. Its not loose at all. Or do I need 
to just put little more lube and little more elbow grease? I don’t want to 
damage threads , or wheel for sure!
Need to fix this for some Solo sailing on Halcyon this week, at least that’s my 
excuse. We are allowed to sail and I intend to do so,with or without Auto 
Pilot. However, Otto driving into the wind would be nice, as it was blowing 25+

Key can stay.  In my case I have to lock the wheels to prevent the shaft
from rotating and "dumping" the key out.  Depending on the circumstances I
may even grab a rubber band to ensure that it doesn't get lost.  If you
want to remove the shaft there are 3 plastic shims which need to be aligned
with their notch top dead center.  Everything else is easy to see and
disassemble.  The 3 shims will not present themselves.

If the shaft is a 1” straight shaft (pre 2000), the key is square and not 
tapered.  Tapered shafts in later years have a Woodruff key which is crescent 
shaped.
A liberal application of PBlaster, left to sit overnight should do the trick.  
The issue is the key is made from mild hardened steel and is prone to rust.

Does this key need to be removed/loosened. Its not loose at all. Or do I need 
to just put little more lube and little more elbow grease? I don’t want to 
damage threads , or wheel for sure!
Need to fix this for some Solo sailing on Halcyon this week, at least that’s my 
excuse. We are allowed to sail and I intend to do so,with or without Auto
