My 1990 Frers was delivered with an Edson cable steering system. A previous owner changed it over to tiller steering, and then I changed it over to a more modern Edson CDi steering system.
Bottom line, I have the original pedestal (less compass & guard), sheaves, cable & chain, and a 1 year old radius which mounts on the rudder post and carries the cable. If anyone needs parts, I'm sure we can make a deal. Hmm, maybe I should post that on the web site!

Subject: [frers-list]Steering on the Frers 33
Wanted to give everyone a heads up on the steering for the Frers 33.
Not sure about all model years but on my 1987 Frers the wheel and steering system appears to be a product of Yacht Specialties Equipment. That company went out of business in 1989 and there is no longer anyone who sells those products. Fortunately Edson sells replacement parts for at least some of the steering that will work. I broke off one of the sheaves on a race two weeks ago and contacted Edson. They identified the replacement part below which I purchased. It was not an exact replacement and required that I enlarge the opening under the pedestal along with drilling out the holes in the replacement part. The original holes are 6 1/2 inches on center and the bolt holes in the replacement part were 6 inches on center. There was enough space to drill the holes out to the required 6 & 1/2 inches on center so it would bolt up to the pedestal. Edson was very helpful in identifying exactly what piece I needed and what would work.
A cast aluminum backing plate with or without sheaves. The current product can be viewed on line or in a hard copy of our current catalog. It is fig. #776AL-4AL.
