Edson Wheel with Clutch and Brake

Edson Marine has developed a revolutionary new wheel with clutch and brake. For sailing yachts with autopilots, the helmsman can clutch out the wheel, removing its fly wheel effect, dramatically decreasing the load on the autopilot. This is especially useful on yachts with dual wheel systems. The wheel also includes a traditional brake to lock the steering system. See www.edsonmarine.com
