The larger wheel would give my wife (98# soaking wet) a little
more leverage. The 30" wheel fits well in the cockpit and I believe
is the standard wheel on the F30. I live in Charlottesville Va. We
will be at the boat show in Annapolis this weekend, if you happen to
be attending.

Dan:
If you can’t work out a swap with Sward, you can buy a 36" Edson wheel for $210 at http://www.drmarine.com/products.asp?cat=61 . Then you can sell your 30" wheel for almost as much, or maybe more, than what you paid. I sold my old 32" wheel on Craigslist for $150 and thought it was a great deal. A week later, a used 36" Edson wheel sold on eBay for $300.

I second Al’s idea. Stick with Edson. I bought my 36" wheel from an Ebay supplier in Tampa area. It was Chinese made and was “surplus” from Catalina…or so I was told. The bore was oversized by at least .010 " and the keyway was loose. I spend a lot of time correcting those problems…including sending the original wheel back and getting a slightly better one. Now it is tight on the shaft but still still has excessive runout at the rim. We LOVE the 36" diameter… much better boat with the larger wheel. Up to 40 " will fit without cushions, but we can switch propane tank hose and operate tank valve with 36". However others feel stronger about manovering room in the cockpit…so maybe someone wants to buy my 24" Edson with lovely light grey leather rim and a black leather centering band???Fargo"Lorman, Alvin J." <ajlorman@…> wrote: Dan: If you can’t work out a swap with Sward, you can buy a 36" Edson wheel for $210 at http://www.drmarine.com/products.asp?cat=61 .

If I had my druthers, I’d have a tiller in my Mull 28. With my
Freedom 25, I could have the tiller between my knees, and could
manipulate every line led to the cockpit. Tillers support single-
handing. On my 28, the only alternative I have is the steering wheel
lock, where I lock it, and then climb over the cockpit seats to
reach the lines thoughfully led to the cockpit, and then run back to
the wheel. Not as good because it’s not dynamic!

If the Mull 28 steering is like the Mull 30 steering, and I believe it is, you could probably use the emergency tiller connection to connect a permanent tiller and simply remove the pedestal and wheel.

Herman, I so agree with you. I have had tillers on all of my aft cockpit sailboats, even my 36 ft Ron Holland 0ne ton. Elvstrom had one on his Americas Cup boat. 60 foot single handers too. Simpler , quicker, better feel than with most wheels. Self steering much faster and simpler. Robin Two Too 's wheel’s feel was exceptional, so was/is Ted Hood. In port the cockpit is freer with a tiller raised. In center cockpit boats there is not much choice. Pedestal is nice to hang a table and insts.on. Modern larger boats that have cockpits of better design ( wide ), there wheels work well. Andre. Herman Schiller <hschiller2@…> wrote: If I had my druthers, I’d have a tiller in my Mull 28.

Ok… I agree… no wheel… just tiller. I would had made that change but didn’t think my wife or future buyers would have the same feeling…so… I went with the 36" wheel. Of couRse it is a bit silly to have all the sheets and halyards “up front” on the cabin top…and me back on the transom… but…that is the way the designers wanted it… mainly to sell boats… FargoF30#12 NARISAandre laviolette <andrelaviolette@…> wrote: Herman, I so agree with
you. I have had tillers on all of my aft cockpit sailboats, even my 36 ft Ron Holland 0ne ton. Elvstrom had one on his Americas Cup boat. 60 foot single handers too. Simpler , quicker, better feel than with most wheels. Self steering much faster and simpler. Robin Two Too 's wheel’s feel was exceptional, so was/is Ted Hood. In port the cockpit is freer with a tiller raised. In center cockpit boats there is not much choice. Pedestal is nice to hang a table and insts.on. Modern larger boats that have cockpits of better design ( wide ), there wheels work well. Andre. Herman Schiller <hschiller2@cox.net> wrote: If I had my druthers, I’d have a tiller in my Mull 28.

Hi Al,
Thanks for the advise. I went ahead and ordered a wheel from D&R
before that opportunity disappeared.
Are you going to be out on the water this weekend? We plan on
one last sail on Sunday before heading down the bay the following
week. Give us a call if you’ll be around.

The larger wheel would give my wife (98# soaking wet) a little
more leverage. The 30" wheel fits well in the cockpit and I
believe
is the standard wheel on the F30. I live in Charlottesville Va. We
will be at the boat show in Annapolis this weekend, if you happen

It is now much easier to move around in the cockpit. The smaller
wheel gives less leverage, but, I just pay more attention to
sail
trim to reduce the weather helm that would have been less
objectionable with the larger wheel.

Sward,
I’m sure that we can work something out. Contact me off list at
hudfest2000@… I will be unaccessable 'til after after
10/15. E-mail me then and we’ll discuss things.

Would you sell me your 30" wheel?

Hi Al,
Thanks for the advise. I went ahead and ordered a wheel from D&R
before that opportunity disappeared.
Are you going to be out on the water this weekend? We plan on
one last sail on Sunday before heading down the bay the following
week. Give us a call if you’ll be around.

If you can’t work out a swap with Sward, you can buy a 36" Edson
wheel
for $210 at http://www.drmarine.com/products.asp?cat=61 . Then
you can
sell your 30" wheel for almost as much, or maybe more, than what
you
paid. I sold my old 32" wheel on Craigslist for $150 and thought
it was
a great deal. A week later, a used 36" Edson wheel sold on eBay
for
$300.Al Lorman

Smaller
wheel
availableSward
The larger wheel would give my wife (98# soaking wet) a little
more leverage. The 30" wheel fits well in the cockpit and I
believe
is the standard wheel on the F30. I live in Charlottesville Va.
We
will be at the boat show in Annapolis this weekend, if you
happen
to
be attending.

Hi Dan,
Yes, I would. Why are you going to change? How does the 30 fit
in the cockpit and handle steering? Where do you live?Sward

Sward,
I have an Edson 30 on my F30 and am considering going to a 36
or 40. Would you consider a trade?

about a 30" wheel?Fargo Rousseau <fargo_r@> wrote:
I have gone the other way, from a 24" wheel to a 36". So,
I have an excellent 24" wheel avaible in like new condition with

Bore is straight 1" for Edson.Fargo

On my 36, I’ve gone from a 34" wheel to a 22" for the same
reasons.
It is now much easier to move around in the cockpit. The
smaller
wheel gives less leverage, but, I just pay more attention to
sail
trim to reduce the weather helm that would have been less
objectionable with the larger wheel.

Dear Sward,I have used Kato davits on my last boat, it is a great
product. I also have a 32 and have used a stern rail
support from edson. It allows the tube to rest at the
height of the stern rail and the dinghy lies flat
against the transom. i have used it for a year and I
like it a lot.Bob, free Spirit Mystic
