It currently looks like this:





Thoughts? TYIA!

Have you considered phoning Edson, sending them a pic of your pedestal, so they can advise on part number?

Dammit' Frank...this newfangled "phone" thing just confuses me! But yeah, that sounds like good advice. I wasn't sure if Edson was that responsive, but it's worth a try!

KISS, eh?

Thanks!

I just reached out by email to Edson, and damned...got a reply back with 10 minutes with the correct part.

It's so nice when something works out well on our boats! And good customer service makes it so much easier. Good for Edson to be so responsive!
Glad you got it solved.
