I just rebuilt Honey's entire Edson steering system. The entire parts kit including next day FedEx costs USD 1,122.00. The new chain & cable kit with the wires properly swaged and shrinkwrapped including all of the quadrant clamps was USD 268.00. According to Edson's support tech the safe average life span of the chain and cable is 10 years. Mine was 20 years old and looked great right up until we bent the cable and watch little pieces of wire begin to pop up. The chain was stretched as well...The only 2 pieces that we did not replace was the wheel shaft and wheel nut... Edson's service was excellent, they even sent me a copy of the original steering plan for my original builder's file. If you call them, ask for Adam Cove..

Just make sure the chain is right for the sprocket. Aside from that I can't think of a good reason to change from what you have. Though, I don't recall being shocked by the Edson price for a chain and wire. I've definitely come to a point in life where I start to appreciate the value of my time fiddling and piecing things together just to save a few bucks.

When I removed the EDSON 335 pedestal, there was a swaged wire fitted to the quadrant and attached to the chain. When I sent this to EDSON, they said that is not an EDSON setup, and that all EDSON set ups use SS wire, thimbles and nicropress sleees. Is that what other listers have? Why pay EDSON their big fee when you can get those parts easily at a good hardware store, or chandlery?
