Dave;
I had the same problem with the wheel nut on my 38. I removed the nut and put a
very small dab of 3M 4000 sealant on the threads of the shaft. After it had set
(but not cured) I reinstalled the nut. Provides enough friction that the nut no

Got it that different era boats may have different models of many support
systems.
However, without knowing such details sometimes advice to others doesn’t apply
to their system.
BTW, my boat was delivered new in 1995 to Harve de Grace and still has the
original pedestal (AFAIK!) with the thru s

I also have the "loose nut" syndrome and was wondering about why it keeps

Charlie,
The nut/rod combo is only for boats with pedestals installed after 1998 with
the through shaft brake system. Unless Dave replaced his pedestal at some point
his brake knob is on the side of the pedestal. His wheel shaft is 1” diameter
with a 1”-14 thread.

Hi Mike
I got a large knurled nut (external diameter equals the hub) from Edson.
It will still come loose with some vibration over a day but I can tighten
it way harder (and easier!) than with the previous smaller plastic hex
nut. Also easier to remove by hand. It's a pretty good look too! I al
Dave,
The coarse threads in Edson’s straight 1” wheel shaft makes it somewhat easy
for the wheel nut to loosen due to vibration and general use. A dab of red
loctite will do the trick, but needs to be applied each time you remove the
nut. Edson also makes a larger OD quick release nut which c
