This video is the best! I have a center cockpit boat and want to reuse the chain and cable. I didnt know how to loosen the sprocket gear from the shaft. This explains in great detail the breakdown and reassembly awesome!
Will, spoke with you couple of weeks ago. Parts finally arrived here in Hawaii yesterday. Doing this job now - hate to try it without this video! It’s right on . Now could you please do a great video like this for rebuilding my Lewmar winches? 🤓
I found that it's easier to install the brake assembly first as there is much more room to fit the cotter/split pin without the sprocket in place. You will need to fit the stainless steel brake retainer last though as you need the brake shoes to be wide apart to fit the sprocket. I notice that the brake assembly has a high-density plastic bushing where it fits the bell housing. It would be great if the maintenance kit included that bushing as they degrade over time and become brittle. A great video though and a task that is easier than it looks. Well done.
Looks like I might manage....my steering shift came right out of my C&C Mark 1973, and it looks like the set up here. I think it happened because there is no drive pin....odd.....I want to order the repair kit, but how do I know the exact one I need? I don't have a tapered shaft, mine looks exactly like your's in the pic. Help?
Hi Sandee, we're glad to help! It does sound like the drive pin was missing. The correct repair kit is Edson part # 314-335. It is a pedestal rebuild kit. It not only includes the drive pin, but also bearings, washers, snap rings, keys, a gasket, and lubricant. If you just need the drive pin, that is part # 960-A-95A. Please feel free to call us at 508-995-9711 or email us at info@edsonintl.com and we will get you back out and sailing!

I am doing this very soon. I will be ordering the parts for the job this week.
Thanks Will, nice presentation! ...And, now I have an education on my pedestal. (not as scary as I thought!)
Thanks for posting this, very much appreciated. Edson is the best!
Very clear and nice instructive presentation. Thank you.
Thank you, Ryszard. Please let us know if we can help with any additional information.
Good job! Thank you for your time.
