Put a dap of nail polish on the key that will hold it in place (if you use 
Loctite, don’t put the wheel back on too soon , don’t ask why I know this)

Subject: Re: Stus-List Anyone need/want a really big wheel?

I lock the wheel shaft before I remove the wheel and then gravity keeps the key 
in place.  If the key does end up falling it only falls to the cockpit floor.  
I've considered rubber bands and pvc pipe sleeves.  I've even considered a shim 
in the keyway to make the key fit tighter so that friction prevents it from 
falling.  It's just not a problem which is bad enough to command enough of my 
attention to make it better.

Hi,

I like the idea of the Edson Rail Mount, but I have a question for anyone who 
has used one.

How do you ensure that you don't lose the Key from the Wheelshaft?

In the winter when I take the wheel off so I can get to the back of the cockpit 
under the cover, I wrap the Wheelshaft with the key in it with masking tape.  I 
suppose I could do the same while cruising but I am wondering if anyone else 
had a more elegant solution.

About a year ago, I had a problem with bigger-wheel envy and I asked the 
list-perts here about a wheel I subsequently purchased on E-Bay.  It was less 
than 1/16 too small for my Edson 1" shaft and had wheel reamed at a local 
machine shop (as suggested here) to fit.  Went from a 36" to 44" wheel on my 
35-3.

Now the point:  Absolutely best move...other than looking "correct" to my eye, 
I agree with everyone here about the functional upgrade.  Sailing is much 
easier and more options to sit (I also removed the camel-hump).  Girlfriend 
would rather have the room afforded by the old wheel...so I really like your 
link to the Edson rail-mounted storage clamp.  Thanks.
