Here's your chance to benefit from my stupid mistake. I bought a brand new Edson 36" wheel for my Pearson from the folks Edson uses to dispose of its surplus...
I was considering building shelving in the cavernous aft locker of a freddom 36 to hold tool boxes or anything that can be placed away and held back with...
I have a Freedom 40 with cavernous aft lockers as well. Mine run fore & aft the long way. I'm not sure what yours are like. I've been giving some thought to...

John, Saw your remarks about your rudder feedback problem, which I had on my F33/35 too. There are tubular rudder feedback units (look like thin hydraulic...
Do you have a source/name/link to a manufacturer for the tubular feedback unit? My initial thought was to mount the stock (non-waterproof) unit inboard and run...
I was involved in using a bicycle cable as your initial thought once, and that install worked just fine on a F44. If I remember correctly, we chose a high-end...
John, Your idea with the bowden/teleflex cable might work very wel; for outboard engine steering, there are cables with watertight throughputs. What I meant...
I think I'll do that More importantly...for the shift cable approach, the shift cable is designed to push & pull, while the brake cable is designed to pull...
When I was looking at Raymarine units a few years ago they said their rudder angle sensor was not waterproof but you could essentially pot it yourself but...
I've used a plain old Morse cable on for my autopilot feedback (Simrad autopilot to the top of the quadrant on a Freedom 44). It's a lot heavier than I need...
No, the F44 never had a barn door rudder but a full skeg rudder from the start. That was the main difference between the F40 and the F44, the aft sections were...
