Hi Joel, Those diagrams are hard to read. I studied them pretty closely when
figuring out my repair plan. As I recall, there is the compass, which screws
into what seems to be a "spacer", then you have the throttle/tranny
lever/linkage assembly and below that there is the top of the pedestal which is
kind of funnel shaped. So, the bolts go through the bottom flange of the
spacer/compass housing, through the throttle/tranny linkage assemble and screw
directly into the funnel shaped piece at the top of the pedestal. I don't
recall struggling with holding back on any nuts when using the vicegrips to
remove the bolts. That is why I believe they screw right into the top of the
pedestal. The bolts are about 3 1/2" long to get them through all the parts.
Here is a link to a sketch I put together from memory but, I'm pretty sure this
is how it goes. http://sdrv.ms/XUoFbu

Kim, There is a diagram
here:�http://www.edsonmarine.com/support/PDFs/planning/EB381SteeringGuide.pdf
I don't think the screws go all the way to the pedestal. but I could be wrong.

Bottom end looks fine- no meat hooks tension seems about right etc.

I can't get the machine screws holding the binnacle loose. Upon removing the
