Merriman - Yacht Specialties Steering Pedestal cable / chain replacement
Dean Jones P40 112 Local Talent
I received the following email back from Edson about purchasing new chain/cable for the Merriman Pedestal many of us have.
Has anyone previously purchased this item from Edson?
Did it fit?

Good Morning Dean,
Thank you for your inquiry. The information in our files is as follows:
[if !supportLists]1) [endif]#77111 (#774-2S2B9) - $283.00 US – Includes chain & wire plus tensioning hardware for the connection to the radial drive wheel all in stainless.
The above is what we provided for the Passport 40 and may or may not be consistent with Merriman.
We strongly recommend that you change the chain & wire if you believe what you have is original. Save the old one for the spare.
Sincerely,
Ken Martin

Greetings,
Our Passport 40 website says Edson will make up a replacement chain and wire for a 1986 Merriman Pedestal? My problem is the boat is currently in New Zealand. The steering system currently works, but I sail the South Pacific and would like to have a spare.
In your records, have you made them for a Passport 40 Merriman system?
Can you match one of your previous orders for this “No longer manufactured Merriman?” I can’t believe Merriman made a variety of chain/cable sizes? So I hope you have a match in your records?
Many Thanks for your help on this.
Best,
Dean Jones

Dean,
A few years ago (five?), I had a yard do some significant
work on my P40, Dream SeQueL; some of that work involved
replacing my badly corroded quadrant and adding a tiller arm for
use by a new below-decks autopilot.
In the process, the yard decided that my chain/wire rope
setup should also be replaced.
A few weeks ago, I decided I really wanted to have a spare
steering setup on board in case of a steering failure offshore,
so I phoned the yard and asked them what they had purchased when
they did the replacement. Their answer was "Edson part#
77111". I phoned Edson and talked to them about it and their
answer was also "part# 77111". The dimensions of the chain and
wire rope (and associated hardware) in part# 77111 was
consistent with my best efforts at measuring my current steering
setup.
Thus, I ordered one part# 77111 from Edson and now have it
stashed away in my spares. I have NOT installed it, so I cannot
guarantee that it will fit properly, but I'm extremely
confident.
Hope this helps,
Jim
