I believe that the bolts in question are the through-the-deck bolts that
secure the pedestal to the deck. They are also the only aluminum bolts
that I know of that were once "standard" on Edson pedestal steering
systems. If I am wrong on the latter, I am certain that others will
chime in. :)
Yes they are the four through bolts that hold the pedestal in place. I will
contact Edson for replacements just curious if anyone else had them fail. Will
also be resealing pedestal to stop water intrusion. Thanks.

I haven’t tackled mine, and as it’s a freshwater boat there’s no corrosion to
speak of, and it doesn’t appear to be leaking.
I have been curious about the deck in this area. How was the deck penetration
dealt with? Is it cored in that area? Was it reinforced or protected from
water intrusi
Not sure why the the aluminum failed. It sounds like it became an anode
somehow.
In 2015, I replaced our pedestal bolts and nuts with aluminum ones from Edson.
On our model, the hex head of the bolt, sits in a hex sided well in the
pedestal base so it doesn't turn. You tighten the nuts from

I have only been casually following this thread, but just a short comment. My
pedestal bolts are SS and in fresh water of L. Mich. Might have been PO who

Hi there, does anyone have experience with selling a vessel in the Bahamas?
I have a 1979 C&C36 that is registered/titled in Florida, and am hoping to
do a one-way trip, ending in Georgetown, Exumas (selling the vessel and
flying out of there). Would I need to register the vessel in the Bahamas?

I enquired about registering a boat in Bahamas when I was in Georgetown
in 2013. There were some fees for the registration itself, but so long
as there was no problem with the boat's paperwork, the main thing was
the import duty which was 10% of the value of the boat. Once registered
as Baham
FWIW, found this on Edson site:
"Since 1987, all Edson Pedestals use the exclusive Edson Hex Head Aluminum
Bolts. With this improvement they lock in place and require only one person to
tighten them. They fit flush with the base and the aluminum alloy is the same
as the base thus eliminating a
Just found Edson and McMaster bolt prices from their websites:
Edson: a single 1/2" x 6" aluminum bolt and nut costs $24 each

McMaster Carr: a single 1/2" x 6" aluminum bolt costs $8.50 without a nut

Older Edson pedestals use 4” Countersunk flathead bolt and nuts made of
aluminum. The reason for that material was to minimize paint adhesion issues
on the powder coated pedestal base. However, Edson neglected to use aluminum
idler plate assemblies below deck choosing to use painted steel whic

After 40 years the rudder now has a bit of play laterally and fore and aft.
Bottom of rudder can be moved less than an inch in all directions. Not bad but
should be addressed. This also is most likely causing the leak through the
shaft where it penetrates the deck fitting causing the donut to
