I was going to suggest reaching out to Edson but Chuck beat me to it. They have really awesome support, at least in my experience. Welcome to the list Chuck! Glad to have you. Steve Suhana, C 32 Toronto On Mon, Jan 4, 2016 at 11:54 AM, S Thomas via CnC-List < cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: >

Re: Stus-List Wheel replacement C mk3

Chuck, Welcome back! FWIW, my 35/3 has a 42 inch Edson wheel. I replaced the camel's hump with a lower, narrower homemade teak seat that is an arch. Maybe a rotary rasp on a drill? Sounds like a couple thousandths of an inch is all you need. Joel 35/3 Annapolis On Mon, Jan 4, 2016 at 3:35

Re: Stus-List Wheel replacement C mk3

Get some calipers and take measurements on the pedestal. Then take the new wheel to a machine shop. They can do it perfect for relatively cheap. OTOH, you could take both wheels to the shop and have them match the new to the old. Edson made a tapered shaft and straight shaft. You may be

Hello listers after a year's sabbatical from this list. My 35-3 has an Edson 36" six-spoke flat wheel with 1" straight hub. (maybe all are same) Here's a confession: I have suffered from wheel envy, and recently purchased an old 44" Yacht Specialties wheel on ebay. It has similar, but not

Re: Stus-List Wheel replacement C mk3

Chuck, The Edson and Yacht Specialties wheels should be interchangeable. Both would have a 1” shaft with ¼” keyway with an overall hub depth of 2 3/8”. However, if the steering wheel was a metric bore from a Goiot steering system or from an Asian made knock off, it may have a 25mm bore and

Hi Josh, I think that would be very useful. Once we have that we can create a CAD file and then we can make the nameplate out of any material we want. My friend has a small CNC machine and a 3D printer. The milling machine probably cannot mill stainless steel, just softer materials like

Me too! I replaced my original 40” wheel with a 42” Lewmar folding wheel, expensive, but a great upgrade! Can’t help on the fit though, the Lewmar fit perfect. James “Delaney” C 38 Mk 11 Oriental, NC From: Chuck Saur via CnC-List Sent: Monday, January 04, 2016 3:35 PM To:

Stus-List Tank wiring.

On the 29-2 the wire for the fuel indicator has a 14-16 gauge pink to the centre of the sender unit and then a much thicker gauge (6 or 8) going to the central mount on the tank. This heavier gauge needs to go onto a male prong on the other side of the sender. I cannot find a female fitting

Re: Stus-List Tank wiring.

IIRC, my ground wire is quite large as well. The wire is terminated with a ring which is secured on one of the 5 mounting screws. Not that it is needed but under the same screw is a 14 gauge wire jumper that has a ring terminal on one side and a female disconnect on the other so that it can

Steve, Not sure of just what .dwg you're referring to, but I was able to create a .pdf file by downloading one of the Autocad drawings on the Edison website: "Assembly 6" Sheave", file name "Mcd-620-6". If you tell me which file you need, I should be able to send you a .pdf file of it.

Steve, Just 2 cents from a former Edsonite (10+ years). When replacing the Idler plate and uprights on a “vintage” crossed wire idler, the original plates were made of painted mild steel with bronze sheave uprights, using a pressed- in oversize pop rivets holding the uprights to the plate,
