I used CL200 for our irrigation system, as it was about half the price of
CSA/UL approved schedule 40. It is definitely thinner, which in this case
is a bonus. For water pipes, not so much, but I have >1000' in the ground
and no leaks after the 10 years, except for those pipes I've hit with

Shawn,
The last time I did this project was my old Catalina, but my solution at the
time was to leave the wires loose and run them through foam pipe insulation
taped end to end. I think I picked up the tip from the email list for that
boat. It was very quiet and provided great chafe protec
Key is only to keep wheel from slipping when you turn it. The key can come out
or stay. I think mine came off with the wheel and i had a heck of a time
getting it to stay put when putting wheel back on. But thats my understanding
of what keys do. Lol.Sent from my Samsung Galaxy smartphone.
Key can stay. In my case I have to lock the wheels to prevent the shaft
from rotating and "dumping" the key out. Depending on the circumstances I
may even grab a rubber band to ensure that it doesn't get lost. If you
want to remove the shaft there are 3 plastic shims which need to be aligned

Wow nice work ! So does the key need to come out to get wheel off? This is only
to hold wheel in alignmnet not to hold wheel on shaft correct? Would love to

Yes, looking at the picture ( on Paul's lever with round ball at the end ) it
is Edson, same thing on my 1975 , you need the long lever for Atomic 4
transmissions. 1-2 years ago you could event get only the "Bakelite" black
handle that was ending it. When not in use one can just pull it ( held
My 1980 pedestal has the sideward handles, the shift one is just like the
throttle, except facing the other way. I think you could fabricate one out
of aluminum.

Been a while since I pulled my wheel, but it is a square steel key. My
wheel came off relatively easily as I recall. Maybe I used a gear puller...
but I don't recall it giving me any grief about leaving the shaft.
I replaced bearings, chain cables, built new shift levers and had the

Hi Paul
The levers are identical I think, symmetrical at least. You could pull
the throttle out temporarily and use it as a template to fabricate up a
workable replacement from a piece of flat bar stock, wouldn't look as
nice as the original but would work a lot better than what you have
now
I had the same stuck wheel problem. With lubricant, gear puller, some
tapping of a hammer, it eventually came off. I cleaned it up, greased it
and have had no problem with it for 5 years. I loosen the nut and move the
wheel slightly to check yearly and it is fine.

I made my own from aluminum bar from my local metal shop. The old ones
had broken, but was able to use most of it as
a rough template. If yours are like mine. The are basically over sized
popcycle sticks.

Graham,
Did you happen to have an atomic 4 with reduction drive as well. Mine is very
difficult to put in and out of gear. I have a 12" bilge pump lever on it and
requires an enormous amount of force. Folks on my boat under 150lbs can't
really get it in/out full gear. I will be changing the
Not those Joel. Of course the only original one I have is the throttle,
starboard side. Don't know what the gear shift is suppose to look like. It
appears the handle you show rotates back and forward. On mine, it actually
slides up/down in a slot, same action as the throttle. Right now I have
It is an old Edison, with up/down moving levers that stick out to either
side and the cables go through an aft pair of guard tubes. I owned an
1980 Aloha with this setup. You might be able to find one e-bay or one
of the big consignment shops, or you could retrofit the more common
lever setup
Yeah that CL 200 is the pvc which I have for reference. When I pulled the
upc off the side it came up as scheduled 40. I don't know the difference.
I've never really had to research pvc pipe so I'm a little out of my
element.

I didn't have great pics in my files of that pedestal from any side. I'll
hopefully be heading to the boat for the first time this spring and will get
some pictures. It is definitely Edson. I should give them a call but
didn't think they had '81 vintage parts.

Always run a messenger line so you can pull another wire when the mast is

I had hoped to pull our mast soon, but with the mast crane out of service
due to covid, it will have to wait. Some great info on this thread, so I
will save it.
One option for thinner PVC is to use white (water) PVC, which you can get
in a CL200 rating (at least in Canada) for light use; it is a b
