We have a very large diameter wheel on our 37/40 and it is perfect for steering

At times we also stand on the aft seats and straddle the hump and the large 
wheel makes this easy: https://goo.gl/photos/Mos5S7mgELRdbthb9

Re: Stus-List Anyone need/want a really big wheel?

2017-02-10 Thread Bruce Whitmore via CnC-List 
Hello all,
For those who dropped me a note with interest in my wheel, I'm not ignoring 
you!  I just haven't been back to the boat, and even when I do this weekend, 
will have little time to do anything other than finish up some maintenance 
before moving the boat. 

That being said, based on the comments here, I'll see how thing go through the 
delivery of the boat which will cover about 120 NM and 3 days.  In the end, I 
really expect that my wife will continue to want the smaller wheel, and we'll 
probably come back and offer it to folks here on the list first.  

Stay tuned, I should know more in about 2 -3 weeks time.
Thanks for all your input!!! Bruce Whitmore

I use a plastic spring clamp (my 1st mate keeps lots of stuff like thisaboard). 
I keep it parked on the pedestal support plate when not in useand then use it 
to secure the key in place when the wheel is off.  Ialso put the quick release 
wheel nut back on and throw the now very loosewheel cover over it to keep 
things tidy.

I lock the wheel shaft before I remove the wheel and then gravity keeps the key 
in place.  If the key does end up falling it only falls to the cockpit floor.  
I've considered rubber bands and pvc pipe sleeves.  I've even considered a shim

falling.  It's just not a problem which is bad enough to command enough of my

My wheel is too big to store on the inside.  It is a little nerve racking
to hang the wheel on the outside... But I guess I've just gotten used to
it.  I used to tie the wheel with some rope just for extra security but I
don't even do that any more.  I do have a "spare" smaller wheel at home so
I guess if something happened it wouldn't be too bad to just run home for
the other wheel.   Our local marina diver would be able to recover the big
one pretty easily.

My elegant solution is electrical tape (as opposed to masking tape).  Also, my 
Edson rail mount does not get as tight on the stern pulpit tubing as I would 
like, so I store the wheel inside the pulpit (just in case).

Eric,

It isn’t elegant, but a bit of bearing grease on the key will typically hold it 
in place.  You can also give it a tap with mallet enough that it mushrooms very 
slightly at the edge.

Re: Stus-List Anyone need/want a really big wheel?

2017-02-08 Thread Chuck Gilchrest via CnC-List 
Chuck brings up a good point to anyone wishing to acquire a cheap “big wheel”.  
Most European wheels with a straight shaft will have a 25mm bore rather than 
the 1” diameter on an Edson pedestal.  The Edson hub also has a 2 3/8” depth 
which allows the wheel nut to secure the wheel on the shaft. Shorter hubs will 
require that you make a spacer to take up the extra room.  Not only is the bore 
a factor, but most newer steering wheels are built with a bit of “dish” to 
allow them additional strength at the rim.  As such, you may find with a new 
Edson or Lewmar performance wheel that the rim will set further aft than your 
current wheel, meaning a slight loss of foot room behind the helm.

And it is always a good idea to make a “trial wheel” from cardboard, mount it 
on your pedestal and then make sure you can open all the lazarettes and lockers 
in the cockpit without first needing to take off the wheel.  Not as much of an 
issue with “T” cockpits, but older boats will be limited.

list-perts here about a wheel I subsequently purchased on E-Bay.  It was
less than 1/16 too small for my Edson 1" shaft and had wheel reamed at a
local machine shop (as suggested here) to fit.  Went from a 36" to 44"
wheel on my 35-3.

Now the point:  Absolutely best move...other than looking "correct" to my
eye, I agree with everyone here about the functional upgrade.  Sailing is
much easier and more options to sit (I also removed the camel-hump).
Girlfriend would rather have the room afforded by the old wheel...so I
really like your link to the Edson rail-mounted storage clamp.  Thanks.

Bruce,


Could not agree more with Ken and Josh — give it a chance — you’ll LOVE the big 
wheel. You’ll find it’s very easy to drive the boat from both the rail and the 
helm seat and, as Josh mentioned, we are now used to stepping up and around to 
get behind it. And you can always get that Edson mount thingy to put it aside 
for long days at a dock, mooring or using the swim ladder. 


And, as Ken said, you should sail with it for a while, especially in anything 
over 15 knots. Some pics:

And if anyone thinks you’re overcompensating for something else with your wheel 
size, that ship already sailed with the size of the boat . . . .




All the best,


Edd

Re: Stus-List Anyone need/want a really big wheel?

2017-02-08 Thread Chuck Gilchrest via CnC-List 
Bruce,
It may be wise to measure the diameter before posting.  The largest size wheel 
that fits a standard height Edson pedestal is 54" without having a wheel well 
cut into the deck.  Even then, clearances are tight at the pedestal base.  Also 
mention if the wheel has a straight or tapered bore for the wheel shaft.  
Finally take into account that wheels that large will cost well upwards of $100 
to ship anywhere in North America.  
Regardless, put it up on Boatlist.org.  I put two items on there this week and 
one has already sold.

Re: Stus-List Anyone need/want a really big wheel?

2017-02-08 Thread Ken Heaton via CnC-List 
I'll second Josh,

We have a very large diameter wheel on our 37/40 and it is perfect for
steering from the rail.  I'd try it for a while under sail before I got rid
of it if I were you.

At times we also stand on the aft seats and straddle the hump and the large
wheel makes this easy: https://goo.gl/photos/Mos5S7mgELRdbthb9

We take ours off at anchor and store it against the lifelines:

Hold on the that wheel!  You may find that you like it better than the
small one.  My boat came with 2 wheels from the PO as well.  I love the
bigger wheel since it makes steering with my feet and steering from the
rails very easy.  I also like to straddle the hump and stand on the aft
benches to get a clearer view of the road.  I wouldn't be able to reach the
wheel comfortably if it was smaller.  I can also stand in front of the
pedestal and reach back over the pedestal to comfortably reach the wheel
allowing me to trim the main or head sails.   Particularly when
singlehanding the AP is low on the port side and accessible from in front
or behind the wheel but taking or giving control from in front is much
easier when you can reach the wheel unencumbered.  It is a challenge to get
around the wheel.  While underway we just step up on the port/stbd
hatches.  When not underway we remove the wheel and stowing it on a mount
designed by edson specifically for storing the wheel on a pushpit rail.
