Wheel brake

Ernie: I have an original installation/parts manual. I've gone over the details of the brake installation and can find no clear detail which shows how the shaft can bind with the brake shoe. But at the bottom of the page is a clear admonition not to change the settings of the bolts which hold the brake shoes in parallel. That your brake shoe shows edge wear makes me highly suspicious that those setting are wrong on your pedestal and that accounts for the uneven wear on the shoe. If I am correct, then resetting those bolt settings so that the shoes ride exactly parallel on the shaft may solve your problem. The worn down of the shoe/shoes should not be a problem....at least in the near term. Hope this helps.

We have the original Merriman binnacle and wheel on Iemanja....1984 #66. I have been able to tighten the brake over time with good success. What we are now experiencing is that there is a half round groove in each of the brake shoe halve in which a pin glides into as the wheel rotates. I assume that this was to keep the brake in alignment as the wheel rotates.Well one of the grooves as worn away and the other one now seems to be catching the pin as it goes into the groove, thus creating a noticeable catch as the wheel turns.Can anyone tell me if there is supposed to be 2 pins on that wheel axle that keep this brake in line? I only have one now. Perhaps the other has sheared away over the years.Looking for any and all suggestions on how to and where to buy repair parts for this issue....ThanksErnieSV IemanjaVero Beach FL--

Rob is correct, Jim. For all voyeurs, take note and download the manual from Rob Raymond's e-mail link. That is where I got it. Never know when you will need/benefit from this kind of information,
