[C320-list] removing steering wheel

[Richard A. Walker]

For the past 9 years I have used the EDSON steering wheel kit.  This
contains a large knob that replaced the existing one and a holder for the
wheel to place it on the rail.  

This has worked great.  Allows for much more room when on the anchor or at a
buoy.  I do back up the holder with a line so if it were to fail the wheel
would not deep six.

Highly recommended cruising gear.  

EDSION Straight Hub Quick Nut Combo 680-1-14   $164.90 at WM  You save about
$40 with the package.



Cheers,

Holly,
No problem removing the wheel.  Just unscrew the center bolt and unplug the 
wheel pilot motor.  Be careful not to lose the shim and the gasket behind 
the bolt.  When you replace the wheel, you will need to spin the wheel pilot

belt housing to line up the horizontal post arm with the hole in the belt 
housing.
The wheel brake is the 3" or so black wheel on the starboard side of the 
binacle -- many of us lock the wheel amidships when at anchor, dock, or 
mooring.  Welcome to the group.  Rollie  #182

Hello
Can I remove the wheel with out messing up the Auto pilot?  It's really in 
the way getting to that nice walk thru transom and into the ocean!    Also 
what is the wheel brake I've been reading about and where is it?  I am the 
new owner of a 1995 320.
