Hi Rob,

If you are in salt water, plan on replacing the idler pulley bracket.  The
existing bracket is mild steel,  and where it sits on our boats is exposed
to salt air.  By the way,  I had to send. My old bracket to Edson so they
could reuse the pulleys because the new ones that came with the new
aluminum bracket were too large.  You will also have an issue with the new
bracket being thicker than the old one and holding the binnacle up a bit
higher on the deck than before.  You may therefore have to make a spacer
out of a piece of UHMW plastic.  It's a PITA job, but way better than
having the steering fail.

Feel free to call me if you want more info.
