Replacing Chain and Wire

This video describes the process for replacing the chain and wire in your Edson steering system.

Nobody mentioned that you have to cross wires in steering column.

You can install the emergency tiller and tie it off to keep the rudder from swinging aounrd..

Mike, thank you for sharing your idea. This is a great way to prevent the rudder and rudderpost from moving! A rudderpost secured from rotation is needed to safely carry out a chain and wire replacement on any boat.

You need to tell us chain and wire on what.

I really appreciate the offer I could have used your help last week. Local rigger gave me a hard time saying how easy it was I even bought a nice 3/16 fish tape that ended up being useless I believe the same wire kept hanging up in the radius of the guide tubes For anyone who has trouble try my trick: I took bailing wire and paracord Take the paracord and remove the core, slide the bailing wire inside about 5-6’ up the core The tape the paracord with electrical tape every foot and at beginning and end with 1-2 tight wraps Thank you so much you are welcome to visit my boat wherever I may be (Dana point at moment )
