Chris, I’m fairly certain that a call to Edson will get you the correct Chain & Wire Kit. I've noticed with my questions to them it seems that they keep pretty good records. You’ll probably need to pull the compass off and get the serial number of your pedestal to make sure they know which model you have. They’ll probably recommend that you replace the idler assembly at the same time. I’m replacing everything with the exception of the quadrant.
If you need some dimensions and lengths let me know. My old pedestal is sitting in pieces in my boat shed and I can check for you. Providing you have the same original pedestal as my model of course. When thinking about adding a windless to our boat I didn’t want it to sit proud on deck, both from an aesthetic and exposure to the elements standpoint. I worked up a FRP shelf structure <http://roninrebuild.blogspot.com/2014/10/anchor-windlass-shelf.html> and will mount the windlass and wash down pump on that. Some day. Some day… Shame about all that chain in that pretty bow. 😉 Best, Dave Godwin 1982 C&C 37 - Ronin Reedville - Chesapeake Bay Ronin’s Overdue Refit <http://roninrebuild.blogspot.com/> > On Mar 31, 2016, at 6:28 AM, Christian Tirtirau via CnC-List > <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: > > Hi guys, > > I’m the new owner of a C&C 37 called Northern Light.
