Tiller to Wheel Conversions - Edson Makes It Easy!
Converting your sailboat from tiller to wheel steering is a great way to make your boat easier to sail and add control that the whole family will enjoy. It puts a complete control center in your cockpit by actually increasing usable cockpit space and providing the ability to mount cockpit tables, glass holders, instrument pods and other cockpit accessories right where you spend the majority of your time - in the cockpit! And Wheel Steering is easier to install and more economical than you might think.
Start with a Steering Data Sheet for your boat. Edson has the designs and components for over 2400 steering systems to fit virtually all the production sailboats ever built. Your Data Sheet will give you a simple drawing of your boat with the steering system in place. Instantly you'll be able to visualize the added room in your cockpit. The Data Sheet also has a complete parts list along with a brief description of special installation circumstances that you should know about.
Below are several of the most requested Steering data
Sheets. Click on the Data Sheet listed next to the boat type to download a PDF of the Data Sheet. If your boat is not listed, please fill out the Steering Data Sheet Form completely. We will then mail you a complete package for your boat. It will have the Steering Data Sheet, the current Edson Catalog of quality marine products, a price list and your own copy of our Steering System Planning, Installation and Maintenance Guide. Then you can decide if you want to do the conversion yourself or with the aid of an Edson Authorized Service Centers in your area.
