[Rhodes22-list] Fw: steering harness for Rhodes 22

[Michael Meltzer]

A wheel has been done before on a rhodes22, Edison sells a single cable system that can be tied to the rudder, about 1000$ for parts
alone.

That said, do not do it. The wheel does not work on the rhodes22. you get better results from using a Yamaha 9.9th and stans linkage
to the rudder, the big prop will move the boat better at lower speeds and the linkage will direct the water flow. Also depending on
the docks their are trick with spring line that might be the answer, if you could describe the docks we might be able to help(i.e.
it is a training answer)

> Greetings, We are interested in having a boatyard install a steering wheel and steering cable/harness on our 1988 Rhodes 22 which
would enable us to more easily steer our outboard motor when we move in an out of our tight port.  It can be awkward to reach around
the rigging to steer by hand.  We currently have the General Boats' installed motor lift and plan to buy a new Honda 9 hrp outboard
motor.
>      Our question is what type of steering gizmos/harness, etc would be best and what are the concerns with having one installed?
.  Also, what company would sell the steering apparatas?  Installation would be done by a boatyard  as this is beyond our
experience.   (Unless we can talk Stan into to coming to Virgina to install it!) Thanks for your assistance.  Regards, Bill North,
King George, Va
