[Rhodes22-list] Installation of Edson wheel steering

[The Rhodes 22 Email List]

Great idea Ted!
That open laz would be an ideal spot to mount an electric.
Maybe even be able to charge batteries while sailing.

I am looking for any advice as to how forward of the lazeratte I should place the steering post. I have ordered a 22 inch wheel and I am thinking the steering post and guard should be 22 inches forward of the lazeratte, but I am not at all sure.Any advice and experience with this would be greatly appreciated.Brent
