Swing Pedestal Concept |
|
|
|
| The swinging pedestal is a very smart solution in creating a multiple steering position with the minimum in space lost in the cockpit. The pedestal can swing from port to starboard and can be fixed in three positions. As shown in above illustration, a swing pedestal with a 800 mm wheel can simulate a 2500 mm wheel. |
|
|
| The conventional way of steering a typical 45' and bigger race/cruising yacht would be to use a twin pedestal configuration as shown in orange in the above illustration. The downside of this solution is the lost space in the cockpit, the narrow passage between the wheels and the complicated steering mechanics under deck. |
|
|
| The under deck solution for the swinging pedestal is much easier as twin wheel steered systems. The above illustration shows a typical cable system solution. |
|
|
| The above illustration shows the very direct and easy to install transmission solution. |

|
|
 |
| The WP900 pedestal solution is completely made of high strength aluminium 6082. Due to this build method, the weight is relatively low with 19 Kgs and the construction is very strong and stiff. The swing angle and pedestal height is variable. Please click on the pictures for a larger view. Hi-resolution pictures are available on our FTP site. Cad drawings can be found in our CAD-library. |

| The swing mechanism |
|
|
 |
| The WP900 swing mechanism is easy to operate by foot pedal. The pedal switch only has to be opened by foot and will click in the next position when reached. Please click on the pictures for a larger view. |
| The under deck |
|
The WP900 pedestal is equipped with a water drain. All the bearings in the central shaft are made of stainless 316 and proper PUR seals are fitted to guarantee no water will enter the boat. Different sprockets can be mounted on the central shaft. Please click on the picture for a larger view. |
